07 Jun Number 78 Bermondsey Street – squat discovered

A message from our local Met Police Safer Neighbourhood Team tells us…. ‘we have discovered a squat believe 5/6 people inside on Bermondsey Street. Police unfortunately are powerless to remove squatters from a commercial building and will need the owners of the building to go to court to get the needed paper work to get them out. When they do get the paper work we can assist. ‘

The message goes on to advise local landlords to secure their business premises fully and have alarms and CCTV working. If there are any issues coming from Number 78 in the meantime, people are advised to call 101 or 999.
