evening of Thursday 31st October. nearest station is Flitwick (between
Luton and Bedford - Thameslink)
Please bring a tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes, rollmat, food, to spend
the night on the woodside site ready for possible early morning eviction.
Bring cameras if you can for legal defence purposes. 

Though the eviction may not happen on Thursday morning - it's becoming all
too common now for the bailiffs to be vague about eviction dates to dispel
resistance - we're going there in case it does. If you can't come please
contact Grattan on 01206 523528 who is organising a phone tree for future
eviction alerts.

Hope to see you there!

WOODSIDE INFO BELOW

Some 60 families face eviction on Friday (1 Nov) from >Woodside< caravan
park, at Hatch, near SANDY, in Bedfordshire.

This l7-acre site was purchased by Romanies following Government advise to
set up private caravan parks (as local councils don't have to anymore).

Despite being licensed for l50 "touring caravans". planning permission was
refused. And turned down on appeal by John Prescott.

Mid Beds Council claimed >Woodside< was on a flood plain. Take up as a
major reason for denying planning permission, their evidence has now been
proved false.

A QC has been asked to give an opinion on whether grounds exist for "stay"
on the present injunction. But time is running out.

PLEASE JOIN US IN PROTESTING AGAINST THIS ACT OF "ETHNIC-CLEANSING"

Rally a >Woodside<, Hatch, near SANDY, off the A1, on Friday morning 10 am.
London supporters are catching the 9.36 am from Kings Cross (lifts from
Sandy station). Other groups coming from Bedford, Luton., Cambridge and
Leicester.

The rally will oppose the eviction and call for passage of the Traveller
Law Rewform Bill.

Add your name and number to the RED ALERT by calling 01206 523 528 (or
emailing).
