'Gathering' outside JB SPRAY SQUAT, Mon. 6th Sept

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:54:11 +0000

The JB Spray Squat has been resisting the 'tactics' of Tracy the Portable Building Dealer and her two skinny sidekicks, for over a week now. Intel suggests, the eviction is due to take place this week, as Tracy, via the owner David Phillips, cannot afford an all singing all dancing eviction, and they are urging us to leave the building, clearly they are flustered and are probably losing money everyday we're in there...Their tools and veichles are not 'usual' eviction fodder, they seem to be scraped together from all the available PBL tools and veichles lying around their depot at Cotgrave, which was recently visited under the cover of night to ascertain what might be used on the day...funnily, none of the viechles where in the depot...strange...thats where they used to be..maybe they're planning something...

The JB Spray squat in Radford were expecting eviction this morning. Two County Court employees and two police turned up at around 10am along with around 20 supporters of the squatters. They were also accompanied by 2 employees of Portable Buildings Limited, the company which is employed to manage the building. After some initial inspection and drawing a map of entrances they gave up. A call to the bailiffs revealed that another eviction attempt is imminent in the next few days.

JB Spray needs your help

The JB Spray squat in Radford, Nottingham is under threat of eviction. The occupiers, who have been in the building since May 2009, have been served with notice of a court date for 2nd August. The landlord is intending to gain a possession order and make homeless the many people who have been living in the building for over a year. The occupiers have stated that they intend to resist any attempts to evict them and are asking people to support them.

The former lace factory, which was empty and unused for many years, has been occupied and used for social and community purposes a number of times in the past. On previous occasions squatters were evicted quickly. This is the first time that people have been able to settle and make a proper home in the building.

Those wanting to help with resistance to the closure of this free space should contact a current resident or if known to the occupants come on round to discuss any help you would like to offer. Alternatively please email jbspray[at]hotmail.com
