singalto Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Obviously it can but if the squatters did it it could be unsafe and the electricy board is hardly going to do it for free power.

unlurked Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Haha. Good. Take away a community asset to line the pockets of fat cats! Hope they stay and expand. Maybe this tactic is whats needed at Prettys on NorthX. .

Earl Aelfheah Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Good luck to them. At a time of 'housing shortage' its scandalous to leave properties empty and inactive for so long.

GinaG3 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Good on them, quite an apt place to squat too if you ask me. During such a housing crisis and a time where the market is completely unaffordable even to the working population I'm all for it. On the condition that they don't wreck the places they squat in, I'm for people taking over vacant buildings and putting them in to use.

Many squatters will set up an account with the board and pay the bills.Good on them.

Jeremy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm not really a big supporter of squatters, but I guess that's what happens when you leave a building empty for a long period of time.

Matty Love Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Might have a couple of tins of paint to donate if you are living there and reading this. The inside was a little depressing as I recall. Not as depressing as the 'hanged man' engraved into the bench in the cell at Brixton though.M a TT Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40264-squatters-resident-in-east-dulwich-police-stn/#findComment-712144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyDeliah Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 One more vote for the squatters - hope they run some squat parties too.

Jeremy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone remember when a bunch of squatters took over a house on Goose Green? They posted on here as the "goose green team" or something. I think they lasted about five days, until they all went home to their parents because they missed hot showers and mum's cooking.

maxxi Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Are you sure it's squatters and not a Pop-Up Nick?Glad to see the building being used and hope it sets a trend for all commercial properties that are left empty for a long period.

LadyDeliah Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 When I came to London from Merseyside in the mid-1980's, there were loads of us and we were all squatting. We had the electricitry and gas hooked up pretty quickly by British Gas and whoever the electricity company was back then and we paid bills, beleive it or not!No problem having hot baths/showers living in a squat or cooking real food. We even fixed the places up and stayed in them for years. We were economic migrants from Thatcher's Northern wastelands and as soon as any of us were able to get a tenancy (because the areas we mainly squatted were hard to let council flats which had been empty for years) we even paid rent too!
