Tower Hamlets
Council has successfully gained a possession order for occupied land in Mile
End Park.
Following a hearing at Bow County Court today (May 09, 2012), the council has now moved a step closer towards having occupiers give up possession of the park land. The group promised to leave the area peacefully over the weekend, but if they don’t the Council may go to the High Court Sheriff to have the occupiers moved.
Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, said: “While I fully support the
principles of the Occupy movement, I feel they have done their movement a
disservice by occupying a local park where local kids play football and senior
citizens walk their dogs.
“Mile End Park is a fantastic open space that is used by the whole community
and I want to ensure that residents can continue to enjoy their park.
“With the support of the courts we will now move quickly to reclaim the park
for local residents.”
