Press Release !
Attention Editors!!
For Immediate Release!!!
CENTERPRISE UNDER THREAT OF CLOSURE
Centerprise Bookshop and Community Centre are under threat of closure
by Hackney Council. The organisation has served the people of Hackney and
other Londoners for over 42 years. The Council is taking Centerprise
Trustees to court on 15 October 2012 to evict the organisation at Central London
County Court.
Commenting on this action, Arthur Torrington CBE (Secretary, Windrush
Foundation) said: “The Council is making a serious mistake in taking
steps that would result in the closure of an organisation that benefits the
community, especially Black Londoners. Centerprise is a place that
Windrush Foundation also uses to provide its services. I am joining the
campaign to keep it open.”
The Trustees of Centerprise are inviting you to a public meeting to
discuss ways of preventing the Council from this eviction, then selling the
premises.
Please come along on Wednesday, 29th August 2012 at 7.30pm
to Centerprise, 136-138 Kingsland High Street, Dalston, London E8 2NS,
and support our cause.
