Pigeon fanciers stand firm A determined army of pigeon fanciers stood firm on their D-Day fight to save the world's only listed cree. With the threat of bailiffs turning up at Ryhope allotments yesterday, dozens braved the pouring rain to protect their heritage. The lease for the Back Ryhope Street land expired on the stroke of New Year's Day, and landowner WorkTalent had warned that bailiffs could remove the tenants to make way for development. The allotment holders, including Maurice Surtees whose cree has Grade II listed status, decided not to take any chances and rallied an army of supporters to stand vigil throughout the day. Among them were Robina Fairbairn, 54 from Houghton, and Ann Ferrier, 53, from Cox Green, who are members of Wearside Friends of the Earth. "It is shocking what they are trying to do," said Ann. "It is total disregard for these people and their way of life." Another supporter, Graham Burns, 41, whose home overlooks the allotment site, went along with his young son, Declan, 10."Everyone comes around, it is a huge part of the community, I grew up with it and a lot of children round here love to visit." Jimmy Saunders, 69, of Queen Street, Ryhope, is one of the allotment holders and visits every day. The retired shipyard worker, said: "I am a widower, so I live on my own. Going down to the allotment keeps me going. It's my life really and I think I would die without it."

Pigeon men will not be moved [/img] Maurice Surtees, left, with fellow Ryhope pigeon men, and supporters including Fraser Kemp MP, Coun David Errington and 10-year-old Linzi Saunders who has written a letter about the cree campaign to Prime Minister Gordon Brown. An army of pigeon fancying pensioners are bracing themselves for a fight tomorrow when bailiffs could move in to turf them out. And the community is gearing up to back their campaign to save their beloved pigeon crees – with "half of Ryhope" expected to show up at the allotments if needed to defend them. The lease for the land, which is home to the world's only listed pigeon cree, expires at midnight and landowner WorkTalent Ltd has earmarked the site for development. In spite of being kept in the dark about the company's next move, the pigeon men are taking no chances and have vowed to spend New Year's Day at the allotments, in case the bailiffs arrive. Maurice Surtees, owner of the Grade II listed cree, said: "The people of Ryhope would never let them stop us from seeing the pigeons. They just wouldn't let that happen." He added: "We don't know what is happening tomorrow. We're waiting for a phone call telling us but we'll be down at the allotments – us and half of Ryhope. "We've had no notification from the bailiffs so we're in the dark really. We just want to live happily ever after. We don't want any trouble. We just want to continue doing what we've done for years." The men remain optimistic they will not be evicted tomorrow, but just in case they have people from across the country on stand-by after their plight went global. Pal and fellow pigeon fancier, Lewis Llewellyn, 65, said: "We will all be here. There's plenty of support. "People have written to us from all over the country who want to be here tomorrow, but we don't know if the bailiffs will be coming so we didn't want them to waste their time getting here." The pigeon fanciers this month rejected a deal to move to a new base at Tunstall Bank, along with a pay-off of about £2,000 each. But on Friday, gentoo Ventures announced it had started talks with WorkTalent to try and broker a deal to save the Back Ryhope Street site and keep the land as working allotments and pigeon crees for the benefit of the community. Stewart Allen, managing director said: "We have now spoken to the developer and opened discussions with them about the future of these allotments." Fraser Kemp, MP for the area, has also fought the men's corner in Parliament. "The landowners need to realise that they are being offered a very attractive deal," he said. "It's a very frustrating situation." The full article contains 430 words and appears in n/a newspaper.
