[Imc-uk-features] [Feat Proposal] New Squatted Centre In Camberwell

[maqui]

Hi

I'd like to propose this *very* short feature about the new occupation  
in Camberwell, south London. There isn't much about it in the wire yet,  
apart from announcements of events, but I though it was worth to put it  
together with links to related genral information about squatting and  
social centres.

I propose it for the London imc and the Uk's Free Spaces page. To go up  
tomorrow at some point.

cheers
maqui

A group of local south londoners have <a  
href="/en/regions/london/2007/03/365265.html">opened up</a> a building  
in Camberwell, and are fixing it up to run it as a social space. It  
aims to be a centre open to the local community, and right now lots of  
work is going on fixing and repairing the space so to open it with  
regular events, including a <a  
href="/en/regions/london/2007/03/365624.html">caffe every Friday</a>  
and <a href="http://www.56a.org.uk/warhamfilm.html">film nights every  
Wednesday</a>.

This new <a  
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting">occupation</a> in London  
is an open initiative where everyone can get involved. The group that  
initiated the project state:
<br><br>
<i>This building had been left to rot by 'developers'. It was basically  
falling down. A small group of local people have begun to repair it,  
re-use it, recycle it. It's work in progress. We are fixing up a ruined  
building to have cafes, film nights, socials and more...</i>
<br><br>
<i>...We occupy and use the space without needing tons of money to  
enable us to enjoy a free social space. But we occupy to share the  
space with those who are a little bit tired of how things are! Be  
occupied!</i>
