South Coast climate camp: occupation continuing!

Fol­low­ing a num­ber of meet­ings of the local com­mu­ni­ty at the camp it has been decid­ed to con­tin­ue the occu­pa­tion of the site, at least until it becomes clear what the sit­u­a­tion is regard­ing the own­er’s (East Sus­sex Coun­ty Coun­cil) plans for the site. All the indi­ca­tions are that they wish to demol­ish the exist­ing school build­ings and sell the beau­ti­ful grounds to devel­op­ers to be con­cret­ed over.

All the indi­ca­tions are that they wish to demol­ish the exist­ing school build­ings and sell the beau­ti­ful grounds to devel­op­ers to be con­cret­ed over. This is far from pop­u­lar with local res­i­dents and a local group call STAND (St Anne’s Dig­gers) has been formed to pro­tect the space and use it as a com­mu­ni­ty gar­den.

Peo­ple are strong­ly encour­aged to come down, get involved and per­haps stay for a while in order to defend the site and help this new com­mu­ni­ty space flour­ish. Do get in touch if you can help in any way. E‑mail southcoastcamp@riseup.net or call the site phone 07743 218521.
