Crystal Palace Spring

Spring is definitely in the air here at Big Willow Eco Village at Crystal Palace, and it has brought with it two things - sex and plants. The first is irritaing eco-warriors pairing up and taking off in a romantic haze thinking of each other, instead of the eviction. The second means that the plants have grown so tall all over the site that its almost impossible to recognise it! The owners of the development site have asked the campaigners to leave, not as a result of the tidings of Spring, of course, and as we go to press the decision over whether a Judicial Review of the scheme can go ahead will be taken. Unusual tunnels are at the ready if the legal system plays its usual tricks.
