EVICTION ALERT - Manchester Airport (CAR2)

> There was a safety meeting last night (Tuesday) between protestors and
> the police, this is one of the last hurdles left for the
> under-sheriff before he comes in to evict. So the campaign is on
> EVICTION ALERT FROM NOW ONWARDS!!
>
> there is an appeal by protestors against the court's decision to
> grant the right to evict, no under-sheriff has ever evicted before
> the appeal has gone thru the court BUT he is allowed to. This
> under-sheriff said he would not evict until after the appeal but has
> now changed his tune (possibly having been leant on by the airport
> authority) and is being ambiguous about whether he will evict soon or
> not. Thus, contrary to previous thoughts, it is likely evictions may
> be sooner rather than later.
>
> The building of the runway will last three years, this campaign has a
> lot more scope beyond the current situation, the route is 2 miles
> long and camps occupy only a fraction of that.
>
> The campaign against runway 2 is very short of MONEY, and very short
> of PEOPLE. These are real concerns. Urgency is stressed in the last
> few important weeks of this first part of the campaign. Please help,
> by making a donation, or more importantly, come along and join in,
> whether experienced or not YOUR ENVIRONMENT NEEDS YOU!
