JAH VICTORY! - Exodus Collective eviction cancelled (Luton)
This week Luton's Exodus Collective were served with an eviction notice to leave Long Meadow Farm, a formerly derelict site that they were granted a tenancy on seven years ago by the then Department of Transport (the owners of the land). Exodus are a grassroots collective working on 'social inclusion programs', doing free dance parties and putting the money back into their community. Police oppression and attempted stitch-ups have dogged their path.
Last year Exodus bought the farm, paying a deposit. Since then bureaucratic hassles and misinformation have been used to try and scupper them. This led to the signing of the eviction order. Two of the Collective passed on accurate information to Lord Whitty at the Department of the Environment, Transport, and the Regions. He'd been lied to, and cancelled the eviction order. Sale contracts have now been signed and exchanged. SchNEWS wishes them well for the future.
