Mill Flean (Derby)
Demolition Derby
After Derby Council demolished the Grade 1 listed Mill Flean for a
`Filter Rd'. Locals reclaimed the city centre site at 6 in the morning
last Saturday telling the busies they were setting up a party,
(try that down south!) One of the plod pointed to a Section 6.
"We know what you're up to, we're just here to monitor the situation
and make sure you don't interfere with the public and they don't
interfere with you". The site was bequeathed to the people of
Derby by the Bass family as a wildlife site. There are already
20 people on site with tree houses being built and nearby residents
donating food and beer from from day one. A local television comp.
ran a vox pop which turned up 8 locals against the road for every
two that wanted it so it should prove to be a lively one.
