[OccupySheffield] FW: [OccupySheffieldPrivate] Notice of Court Proceedings and Hearing on Thursday 26th January

[Joe]

Ey up,

Removing excess tents has passed through consensus and has been happening.
We had 25 tents, which was reduced to 20 recently (last week).
Broken/abandoned/excess storage tents that were no longer needed on site
were cleared up to the Citadel for drying/sorting.

A couple of days ago there was consensus to further reduce the number of
tents down to 10-15. This hasn't happened yet for a couple of reasons:

1) We will probably need extra sleeping space for the Conference next
weekend. We could leave tents up for now, or take them down for a week and
put them up as needed(?)
2) People who own the tents need to discuss what they want to do with them.
There is a labelled plan on site of the tents that are left.

Separate to this is the proposal to shuffle the camp down towards
LloydsTSB, which was discussed and didn't get consensus. Most people
thought it was doable. Reservations were that it was still on Cathedral
land, that currently it is a good display next to the tram stop which gets
lots of people standing there anyway, that it would be moving closer to the
street drinkers' bench, so pushing their territory again. I'd be interested
to know what the Cathedral thought of it as an idea now. I got the
impression they were stone-walling all our negotiations/suggestions, and
that they had dismissed this idea before.

Solidarity and hope,

Joe
