Cambridge Mill Road Social Centre evicted but car-park squatted

On Fri­day 1st around 9AM, police and bailiffs kicked down the door to the social cen­tre and start­ed evict­ing peo­ple from the premis­es. No advance warn­ing was giv­en. It goes to show that Tesco can nev­er be trust­ed, as they reneged on their promise not to take pos­ses­sion of the build­ing before they need­ed to start build­ing.

Tesco were obvi­ous­ly very con­fi­dent that the pre­vi­ous night’s plan­ning meet­ing (to allow them to build waste and air­co facil­i­ties) would find in their favour. As it turned out, their appli­ca­tion was turned down. No doubt Mill Road­’s Broad­way will soon sport a set of shiny met­al win­dow boards.
