Diggers2012: Two Week Anniversary At Runnymede

An update on the progress of the Diggers2012 land action that started on 9th June. See http://diggers2012.wordpress.com for more information and feel free to visit or join! Its two weeks today since we, a ragged band, moved into the gardens surrounding the old, disused Brunel University Runnymede Campus. In the past it was a thriving university campus where sciences, design and technology, theatre and sport were taught and enjoyed until the site was sold to private property developers in 2007. For over five years it has remained largely vacant and disused (with the occassional film shoot or police dog training taking place in the buildings). For more info on the site please visit: http://runnymedecampus.com/history Around the buildings we discovered acres of woodlands interspersed with fields and overgrown lawns. It is beautiful and on a hill with views overlooking Runnymede and the river Thames. The following article has great pictures and more info. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/06/497516.html
