OCCUPATION OF 34 BROADWAY MARKET
NEW UPDATE!
7th December 2005
LOCAL SUPPORT
Once again, thank you to everyone who has been supporting the occupation.
Many local people and traders have been giving donations, food and other
useful items to help us continue protecting the building. We have collected
over 500 signatures on our petition so far. Also we have had a lot of
support from local estates - thank you to everyone who has put flyers round
their estate.
Wiston and Goldsmiths TRA are formally offering full support to the protest
at their committee meeting tonight and have already asked us if they can
donate food to the occupation!
NATIONAL PRESS COVERAGE!
This occupation has been covered in today¹s Guardian - it is the front page
story on the G2 section. The Evening Standard are running a piece tonight,
BBC London are picking up the story today and Channel 4 News and the
Financial Times have also expressed interest in covering the situation.
COURT HEARING
Just to remind everyone that our court hearing is on Friday at 10.30am. Our
supporters are invited to come down to the court which is at 19 Leonard
Street EC2. It would be good to meet outside the court at 10.00am.
JUDICIAL REVIEW
Tony has applied for legal aid for a Judicial Review of the planning consent
for flats - the planning consent which caused him to be evicted and paved
the way for the demolition of the cafe. The Judicial Review will be to
examine how planning consent was given by Hackney Council without referring
to the proper planning committee. Hackney have recently looked at the
planning decision but have so far decided they are not going to revoke it.
In addition, Tony¹s solicitors are looking into getting an injunction to
stop the court case on Friday on the grounds that the possession hearing
will prejudice the powers of the High Court to examine the validity of the
planning consent.
FRAUD INVESTIGATION
We have been informed that, following our protest, the Metropolitan Police
Fraud Squad are 're-opening' their investigation into the council commercial
property sales in Hackney.
