London, UK. 23rd September 2017. Hundreds applaud a speaker at the rally in Tottenham before marching to Finsbury Park against the so called Haringey Development Vehicle, under which Haringey Council is making a huge transfer of council housing to Australian multinational Lendlease. This will result in the imminent demolition of over 1,300 council homes on the Northumberland Park estate, followed by similar loss of social housing across the whole of the borough. At £2 billion, his is the largest giveaway of council housing and assets to a private corporation yet in the UK, but similar schemes
London, UK. 23rd September 2017. Hundreds applaud a speaker at the rally in Tottenham before marching to Finsbury Park against the so called Haringey Development Vehicle, under which Haringey Council is making a huge transfer of council housing to Australian multinational Lendlease. This will result in the imminent demolition of over 1,300 council homes on the Northumberland Park estate, followed by similar loss of social housing across the whole of the borough. At £2 billion, his is the largest giveaway of council housing and assets to a private corporation yet in the UK, but similar schemes have already resulted in the loss of truly affordable housing and social cleansing in other boroughs including Southwark, Lambeth and Barnet, and there were several groups and speakers from estates there as well as from Grenfell Tower, where cost cutting and ignoring building safety and residents' complaints by private sector companies including the TMO set up by the council created a disaster just waiting to happen. Much of London's housing crisis which groups on the march including Class War and Focus E15 have down much to bring to public attention is the result of these and similar activities by wealthy foreign investors.
