Eco-village under threat from Carta
Runnymede squatters plea for celebrations protection
CAMPAIGNERS sent out a call yesterday to protect a squatted ecological village, which is threatened with eviction due to celebrations marking the Magna Carta’s 800th anniversary.
Runnymede Eco-Village lies next to the site of the signing of the medieval treaty after being squatted in 2012 as a project for alternative, environmentally friendly living.
But the squatters were handed eviction notices less than a fortnight ago to make way for Magna Carta commemorations in June.
