A community garden built on disused council land was opened to the public on may 19th. The land had been was previously used as a shooting gallery by junkies, but was turned into a beautiful garden, outside official jurisdiction, by local activists.
The council, however, put the wheels in motion for the eviction, before it even opened.
But the opening was a great success and the garden has opened every day since (ignoring the council's injunction).
At 10am on monday 4th June the eviction hearing will go ahead. There will be a demonstration outside, complete with press coverage.
There will be another demonstration/resistance on wednesday or thursday (a more exact time when we have it) when the bailiffs come round to evict and close down the garden.
Please show your support for this community project by protesting outside the court (Friar street, reading) or helping resist the eviction later in the week.
Many thanks, Katesgrove community garden collective
