- Title:
- Kew Bridge Eco Village eviction alert
- When:
- 21.05.2010
- Where:
- Kew Bridge Eco Village - Brentford
- Category:
- Politics/Social Action
Description
Kew Bridge Eco Village faces an eviction threat, starting from this
Friday, 21st of May, 2010. It is likely that they will evict on the
friday, or the monday after or at some other date that suits their
purposes. If you want to help protect the eco village, then come down and lend a hand.
The eco village is primarily a place for beings of different
perspectives, experiences, ideals and aims to come together to create sustainable communities, wherever they might exist. The site is set to be turned into a monstrous development of expensive flats and more pubs and shops, in an area with two nearby shopping centers, and with 3 pubs in the immediate area, and copious amounts of disused properties standing empty as the numbers of homeless continue to rise.
Kew Bridge Eco Village stands in the way of this rediculous
development and against all unsustainable practices everywhere.
So if you want to protect the eco village, whether you consider
yourself to be classwar, eco, feminist, hippy, hardcore, non-violent,
survivalist, whatever: come on down and support the village! There are plenty of sleeping spaces, and you even have the option of setting up a tent.

Description
On June 6th 2009, nearly a hundred activists converged on a piece of derelict land at Kew Bridge in south west London to create an eco-village community based entirely on sustainable technology and construction techniques.
Come, be a part of this eco-village community!
This eco-village occupation is inspired by campaigns like The Land is Ours which campaigns peacefully for access to the land, its resources, and the decision-making processes affecting them, for everyone, irrespective of race, gender or age.
