Two very important meetings happening this week
The first is about Cumlodden Estate, where Tam Brown - a long standing resident - was evicted from in May, after he withheld payments due to the disgusting conditions he and neighbours were living in.
The second: The Souidi family from Cedar Court in Maryhill have been served notice of imminant deportation by the Home Office. The family - originally from Algeria - fear that if deported they may face persecution and torture.

The first is about Cumlodden Estate, where Tam Brown - a long standing resident - was evicted from in May, after he withheld payments due to the disgusting conditions he and neighbours were living in. It's been called by the GHA, and will take place tomorrow (Wednesday, at 7pm, at GCC's Thornton Street Repair Office beside the high flats in Summerston.
It's vital that people attend to let the GHA know they're not going to get away with treating people like shite. Together with Tam some leaflets have been drawn up for a demonstration about the conditions ands GHA lies and mistruths later this month on the 27th and printed by Andrew for distribution afterwards, depending on what the GHA have to say. Tam needs your help to give these out as well.
