London, UK. 19th September 2016. Green Party Co-Leader Jonathan Bartley at the protest outside Bargain Carpets in the Brixton Railway Arches, threatened with eviction today by Network Rail, who want to empty all the arches, refurbish them and let them at three times the current rents or more. The long delay and huge rent increases will make it impossible for the current businesses to remain. Credit: Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
London, UK. 19th September 2016. Green Party Co-Leader Jonathan Bartley at the protest outside Bargain Carpets in the Brixton Railway Arches, threatened with eviction today by Network Rail, who want to empty all the arches, refurbish them and let them at three times the current rents or more. The long delay and huge rent increases will make it impossible for the current businesses to remain. Network Rail want to increase their profits by replacing valued local businesses by the kind of bland high-price chains and franchises that have blighted high streets across the country. Current leaseholders have been threatened that if they legally challenge the evictions they will not be offered leases in the refurbished arches. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
