Let us stay plea by squatters to council

SQUATTERS occupying a disused school house have called on Camden Council to follow the example of a housing association and let them stay as caretakers until the building is sold.
Circle 33 has allowed a 14-strong group of squatters to remain in a five-storey house in Fitzjohn’s Avenue Hampstead, until it is sold, probably in March, after they promised to look after the building.
The association says the squatters will save thousands of pounds in security fees. Now squatters in the old Rhyl school house in Gospel Oak wants Camden Council to follow this example.
The Rhyl Street eight were served with eviction papers yesterday (Wednesday) and will appear in court next week.
A 23-year-old female squatter said: “We are trying to make it nice here and suggested to the council that we do exactly the same thing. Camden will not tolerate any form of squatting at all.”
