Meeting at LOUGHBOROUGH FARM (opposite Wyck Gardens), Loughborough Junction, South London

 

Get your hands dirty on the common. Step away from the laptop and join the Loughborough Farm. This farm is an urban common in practice, self-initiated, self-governed and self-funded by volunteers. It aims to reconnect residents with processes of production, from food growing and DIY to sourcing land and funding - all processes that have become alien concepts in a consumption focused society.

 

THOMAS DOBSON, The Public(s) Land Grab, Loughborough Junction Action Group. The Public(s) Land Grab is a live research project which takes a stance against the inequalities intrinsic to capital-led urban development. As developers become increasingly irresponsible what we question is if - as residents - we can re-appropriate development as a tool to level social inequalities and reclaim land and resource for public benefit? Like most citizen-led initiatives in London at the moment this starts with a community garden: the Loughborough Farm in Loughborough Junction, South London.
