rampART gets eviction papers — meeting planned

12.12.2007 — the ram­pART social cen­tre in Lon­don today received court papers for re-pos­ses­sion on the grounds of Tres­pass. The hear­ing date is the 20th Dec.

So much for the sea­son of good will.

The ram­pART and neigh­bour­ing hous­es have all been served court papers for a hear­ing on the 20th Dec. Bad tim­ing to say the least as a bunch of us were off to do a pre­sen­ta­tion about the space and show films at an event in Barcelona next week and are poten­tial­ly home­less by xmas.

We’ve start­ed the process of seek­ing advice regard­ing the court hear­ing but don’t hold your breath, the end is nigh.

This obvi­ous­ly impacts on a whole bunch of stuff. For exam­ple we’ve just had the a cam­paign group move their office into the ram­pART, Bicy­col­o­gy were plan­ning on doing up the bike work­shop this week­end and there’s var­i­ous groups got dates booked for events next year, not to men­tion the new years eve par­ty.

Basi­cal­ly we need to have a meet­ing of all the effect­ed groups/individuals to dis­cuss our response and plan what will hap­pen over the next month or so.

Assume this meet­ing will be at the ram­pART next mon­day 7pm.
