Serco resumes evictions as Court of Appeal is lodged

Today, Thursday 2 May 2019, Govan Law Centre will lodge its appeal against the Court of Session judgement on lock change evictions. The City Council Taskforce Forum on asylum housing will also be meeting in Glasgow City Chambers with Serco. We hope they put Serco in the dock for their latest actions, intimidating refugees to leave their accommodation by sending out "eviction letters" and calling it an information drive to the newspapers, and then admitting these are eviction letters. We are calling on Serco to suspend these evictions pending the Court of Session appeal.In the last few days, several asylum seekers have come into our office in Glasgow with letters from Rupert Soames' Serco organisation, telling them to leave their accommodation immediately. We expected this course of action at some point but were still surprised given Serco's publicly stated position: they would not take any immediate action to evict after the Court of Session judgement last month, and they would consult with "key partners".
