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.
