Thousands of tonnes of good camping equipment, clothes and other materials are going to be dumped after Leeds Festival. We're planning to do something about it to help both the environment and those in desperate need of it. A new group SolAIDarity (well an off shoot of ATC and other groups) has formed to go to festivals and tat down stuff and redistribute

Come and join us this Monday at 6:30 pm to protest against the Council's intention of making of Royal Park School more student flats. Protest will be outside the school in the corner of Queen's Road and Royal Park Road. Hyde Park has more than 4000 empty rooms for students, we don't need more student flats! What the area needs is community cohesion, a space for young people to stay away from crime and drugs, a space for students and families to get together, learn and have fun! Bring your pans and pots to the protest!
