Squatters in Waltham forest have taken over the Leytonstone Police station, which has been closed and put up for sale by the Met.

“Waltham Forest Police have confirmed it has started a legal bid to evict the squatters, but a spokesman admitted it is not known how long the process will take,” says the Waltham Forest Guardian

A neighbour tells tells the paper, ““We don’t need all that round here. It’s bad enough with the drugs and the violence in Leytonstone.” No wonder the bill packed up and left.
