Ever heard of a council that gave themselves planning permission for a floodlit sports facility abutting a river corridor & 3 sites of nature conservation importance; having commissioned no bat activity surveys and felled 12 mature healthy trees 6mths b4?

Then please Stop the demolition of our council homes which adds to toxic air pollution which is most harmful to our children & elderly- spend money on refurb instead of huge sums spent on demolition- makes sense Cllr Paul Bell Damien Egan Joe Dromey Brenda Dacres Paul Maslin

Planning meeting, tomorrow: please cross your fingers 🤞 for Linda and her neighbours; fighting for the right not to be kicked out of their homes, removed from their friends & neighbours, & to stop their hard working community from being crushed.

Here’s #artwashing at its finest: fake leaves to hide #environmentaldestruction drawings by children to show they “care” (and don’t have to pay them), frames to show it’s art. The drawings are genuinely good but don’t address the issues of #Hs2 at all #StopHS2 #landgrab #scam

Victory! We campaigned to stop Peabody HA selling-off a home intended for social rent in Bethnal Green. Today they've said 'we are happy to offer the property to house a homeless family from the Tower Hamlets waiting list' #HomesforAll

Why should we save Seven Sisters Latin Village ? Cos Momentum councils shouldn’t be gentrifying working class neighbourhoods, it’s a crucial community resource, and it’s got the best hot sauce in London.

Watch below to meet the traders and campaigners!

A sadly inadequate analysis/justification of the facilitated appropriation of Balfron Tower (stock transferred 2007 to Poplar HARCA) for wealthy middle class Londoners. If able & best to refurb Grand Parc, Bordeaux & retain as social housing, why not here?

We ask; when is a community allowed to affect planning decisions? How many need to vocalise their stanch opposition to be heard?

Just a reminder London Affordable Rent is not Social Rent - our councillors Cllr Paul Bell Damien Egan are so out of touch with their big salaries they believe everything officers and Sadiq Khan say. In Lewisham LAF is 63% year more than council rent.

Astonishing story over the weekend of Foxtons showing a couple a 2-bed flat then, once contracts were signed and fees paid, giving them the keys to the 1-bed downstairs thetimes.co.uk/article/cc870e…

The man who wrote a paper calling for ALL council estates in London to be demolished 🤔

35% Campaign All the ‘disappointment’ from Southwark Council’s Peter John, Rebecca Lury & Neil Coyle centres on Tescos shutting. Up until then not a single word about all the small independent traders being shafted as the Council allows a plan to demolish The Shopping Centre Up the Elephant 🌍

Housing approved in London Pollution hotspot namely Lewisham borough 🤔you will be shocked to know this horror story has appeared in The Guardian, Page:16 The Daily Telegraph,Page:2 The Times,Page: 5 however Damien Egan Cllr Paul Bell will carry on regardless 🙄 #ComedyofErrors

London National Park City* A tree resistant to Hackney’s chainsaw tree choppers Save Britannia & ShoreditchParkUsers many of which have been downed to make way for hundreds of expensive market sales in towers up to 25 storeys (not only a school on the site)
