[lang_en]
On June 6th 2009, hundreds of activists will converge on a piece of derelict land close by to Hammersmith in south west London to create an eco-village community based entirely on sustainable technology and construction techniques.
This eco-village occupation is inspired by campaigns like
The Land is Ours which campaigns peacefully for access to the land, its resources, and the decision-making processes affecting them, for everyone, irrespective of race, gender or age. for more information, please visit: www.tlio.org.uk

Some History . Video from the “Pure Genius” Land is Ours occupation in Wandsworth, 1996 :
On June 6th 2009, nearly a hundred activists converged on a piece of derelict land at Kew Bridge in south west London to create an eco-village community based entirely on sustainable technology and construction techniques.
Andy says, “Please join the group. If you live in London, please pop down and check the place out. The first community day is set for 21/6 so lots needs to be done before then to make it safe, if you have anything we can recycle please bring it down.”
This group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=88020757939 is for anyone and everyone who would like to get involved. Or even those who just want to see how it goes…
Come, be a part of this eco-village community!
Kew Bridge Eco Villiage
2 Kew Bridge Road, Brentford, TW8 0JF
We’ve moved in, cleared the site of most of the rubbish, put our tents up, built a compost toilet and a kitchen, and are currently building a communal structure like a yurt!
We also did a bit of outreach and so far we have full support from the neighbours and those in the nearby communities, aswell as the local buisnesses and some unofficial support from certain local councillors…
We still need your help though! If you want to visit for a day, or forever, please come along!
Any skills/knowledge you have about building will be valued greatly,along with any tools you may have! Or even if you know nothing but just want to learn, come along too!
