rampART served with noise abatement order

The rampART social centre has been served with a noise abatement order this week after claims of so-called statutory nuisance during samba band practise on the 9th Nov. Breach of the order could result in prosecution and upto 20,000 pouns fine and seizure of 'noise making equipement'.

Samba practise has been taking place at the rampART from around 8pm till 10pm most wednesdays for the last few months. However the noise excaping the building on the 9th was greater than previously due to a smashed window pane at the front of the building.

There is discussion about the possibility of appealing the noise abatement order as there are good grounds to overturn the order. However, no legal aid is available for such an action and failure would result in thousands of pounds in court costs. Additional it might result in an order against a named person instead of simply 'the occupier'.

Prisons campaigner arrested outside Holloway.

In 2003 Sarah Elizabeth Campbell took an overdose in her cell in Styal Prison. Despite her rapidly worsening condition the Prison authorities waited 40 minutes to call an ambulance. When it arrived it was held at the Prison gates for a further eight minutes. Sarah lost consciousness and died in hospital a few hours later.
