GRASS evictionOn Mon­day 4 August 2008 the Grass Roots Alliance for Social Sports (GRASS) was forcibly evict­ed from the Wem­b­ley Park Sports Ground in rough scenes and under sketchy legal grounds.

Using an exist­ing evic­tion order from the Tent City Occu­pa­tion and an evic­tion order on the Sports Ground busi­ness­es, Brent Coun­cil forcibly evict­ed the GRASS pro­tes­tors. Then the coun­cil turned on the four squat­ters in the house on the site, evict­ing them with­out any pri­or notice — some­thing maybe the Brent Squat­ters Asso­ci­a­tion should look into.

A video of the evic­tion from that morn­ing can be found here.

The day panned out caus­ing end­less dis­rup­tion for Brent Coun­cil, as they grew increas­ing­ly frus­trat­ed at the pro­tes­tors con­tin­u­ous actions to halt the start of work on the tem­po­rary accom­mo­da­tion for the Ark Wem­b­ley Park Acad­e­my, which is due to open at the start of term in Sep­tem­ber.
