Council to evict protest kids’ library occupation
Lambeth Labour gets court approval to throw buds of tomorrow into street
Candidates only have until Thursday to get 80 MPs to nominate them
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.
