Reading Borough Council have taken out an injunction against the anti-capitalist squatters who have taken over and transformed the derelict land behind the former Womens' Information Centre in Silver Street into a 'Community Garden'.

Council Spokesman Chris Branighan said: "How dare they clean up the used condoms and hypodermic syringes and turn it into a nice usable green space? Until we have carried out a full risk assessment and issued the appropriate Health and Safety certificates these squatters are behaving in a totally irresponsible manner. At least when it was derelict and unusable any child injured here was trespassing and not due a penny in compensation, but now it's been cleaned up and looking nice people might expect the Council to keep it that way. Won't somebody think of the children?"

"Anyway, we are seeking possession of the premises, and as soon as this has been achieved we will secure the site pending imminent demolition of the existing properties and disposal of the land for more yuppie rabbit hutches, because we know that is what the people of Katesgrove are crying out for, not some pathetic community area."
