Eviction Looms At Birmingham

As the action update goes to press, campaigners at the site of the Birmingham Northern Relief Road are facing imminent eviction.

Bailiffs and security have completed building a compound next to the squatted farmhouse on the route of the proposed 27 mile privately funded toll motorway and a repossession order has been served.

The nearby Greenwood camp has not as yet received any notice of eviction, although the water supply to the camp has been turned off. There is plenty of scope for new camps along the route and solidarity actions against Midland Expressways or its parent companies Kvaerner and Autostrada would be nice!
