Council to evict protest kids’ library occupation
Lambeth Labour gets court approval to throw buds of tomorrow into street
A LONDON Labour council took the elderly and children to court yesterday to evict them from a library earmarked for “regeneration.”
On the ninth day of the occupation of Carnegie Library, Lambeth Council was granted an interim possession order by a county court.
The sit-in — mostly by children — is being held in protest at council plans to turn the grade II-listed 1906 library into a public-private partnership gym.
