the spike sur­plus scheme of 39b con­sort road, peck­ham, Lon­don is being eve­ict­ed as we speak. bailiffs, cops, pcsos and “com­mu­ni­ty war­dens” are on site.

after a ten year project in the build­ing which has been in com­mu­ni­ty use for 150 years, the prop­er­ty divi­sion of sout­wark coun­cil have decid­ed to end the project. though they promised to give notice to clear the projects equip­ment before evic­tion, south­wark coun­cil gave instruc­tions to get a spe­cial court order so as not to give any notice at all.

Jere­my pil­grim of the south­wark coun­cil lead the police oper­a­tion, vis­it­ing the project for the first time this morn­ing after many pre­vi­ous invites to vis­it the com­mu­ni­ty cen­tre.

peo­ple have been told to liase with bailiffs in order to col­lect the thou­sands of pounds worth of equip­ment still there.
