A closed down and derelict school under threat of demolition has been occupied by local community members and reclaimed for the communty.
They have carried out badly needed repairs and opened up the space for community events including circus skills workshops, a jumble sale and more.
Tonight's public meeting was called to discuss the sudden news of a court case to evict the occupiers on Monday (23rd Nov).
