Just to say that we successfully resisted the eviction attempt that was planned for friday - the baliffs didn't actually turn up as they had concerns about evicting us without a police presence while we we're all dressed in santa suits!! But baliffs aside it seems like division within the council, more positive local press coverage and some effective last minute lobbying led to the city's economic development department being told to back off by their political masters - at least until after xmas!! Party anyone . . . ? ?
