Canal blockade highlights boat-dweller evictions
PM could be ejected from Downing Street if Welsh Labour loses Senedd elections in May, First Minister says
DOZENS of people took part in a canal blockade this weekend in protest against the eviction of elderly and disabled boat dwellers.
The People’s Flotilla Against Austerity called the day of action following threats and the seizure of boats and possessions from several vulnerable people by the Canal & River Trust.
“It is a good start and something for us to build on,” said People’s Flotilla organiser Anita de Klerk.
