Brighton Lewes Road Community Garden

Representatives of the land owners again tried to evict the occupiers and members of the local community who have built a Community Garden on the site of the old petrol station on Lewes Road Brighton. The attempt commenced at 7AM today

After negotiations between the community, the bailiffs and Sussex Police, the bailiffs and security left without securing the site so the matter remains ongoing

Still no news yet

Given that the Parliament Square eviction took place at 1AM – wonder if they’ll follow the same approach ?

Lewes Road Community Garden Brighton Lose Appeal

The occupiers of the site of the proposed new store in Lewes Road have lost their appeal against eviction from the site

It’s now expected that representatives from the landowners will arrive soon to start clearing the site and removing the garden. Currently it’s rumoured that Tesco are interested in buying the land for another Express store – even though it’s immediately next to an existing and long established Co-Operative store and other small shops
