Claremont (bradford) becomes a car park

Lucy | 07.11.2005 17:55 | Free Spaces | Social Struggles

In the space a businessman or student parks their car, their could be a fire where people sit round and relax.. the space for 3 cars could be used for a caravan, someones home. Soon, the site where people lived for over a decade will be robbed of its trees, bulldozed and covered in tarmac and orderly white lines, all in the name of regeneration...

Claremont was supposed to have been cleared on the 23rd of October so the landlord could walk on and put a new lock on the gate. Then the site that has been a home for over a decade should have waited in silence for the bulldozers to come and turn it into.. a carpark.

Bradford Regeneration? Thats more important than people having homes, surely? Idiots

But there was a bearded young man with a puppy and a caravan and a soundsystem who did not move on, and when the landlord came he left soon after, not a happy man.

Unfortunally, now a bailiffs warrent has been applied for, and claremonts days are numbered. 17th of November they will come, and unfortunately although we have tried to get help to resist the eviction even if its only for a few days, there aren't enough of us.

We are going to have a fire and a BBQ on Saturday (12th) night, all are welcome, bring food, firewood, CDs and friends. It would also be a good opportunity to make plans to hinder work to be done to transform the site...
Hopefully see you there
