DALE FARM: ORANGE ALERT

People who feel that they want to ask Basildon some
questions about the intention to bulldoze all
the homes, and hopes, at Dale Farm - should go
ahead.

She is the meetings manager looking after
arrangements for the l4 July council session
which, it is understood, will now have agree
to an expenditure of £2.9 million, the police
having put a price-tag on their attendance
of £1 million - just possibly as a deterrent.
indicating they are not keen on the "direct action"
operation.

Lesley assures us that ALL questions (when not
duplicates of others) will be answered in
writing - even if you are not attending the
meeting.

Your questions, and the answers, may be of
use to Keith Lomax ( k.lomax@dgllaw.co.uk)
as points to be included in his Judicial
Review application.

This will go in shortly after the l4 July meeting.

Meanwhile, the Judicial Review application for
Hovefield, Wickford, was rejected yesterday by
Judge Sir Richard Tucker. Those who have not
already left face imminent eviction.

While having great confidence in the case for
Judicial Review being put forward on behalf of
Dale Farm residents,I must say we all of us now
have to consider what the situation will be should
this application also be turned down.

Therefore those who have volunteered to act
as Human Rights Monitors in the event of the
direct action operation going ahead, ought now to
>BE PREPARED TO MUSTER AT SHORT NOTICE<

Accommodation, hot drinks and food will be
provided for those staying overnight.

The presence and role of the monitors is to be
discussed with council officials and senior police
officers. One of the questions already posed
concerns just this.

I would be grateful if those on this list
contemplating coming to Dale Farm would now
drop me an email to confirm.

The hour of greatest need may be at hand.
