London, UK. 2nd July 2017. Hundreds, many of whose homes are under threat of demolition, meet at Duckett's Common to march to a rally at Haringey Council where a cabinet meeting was expected to approve the Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV), Britain’s biggest collaboration yet between a local authority and a property developer, which will demolish a third of Haringey's social housing, handing over half of an estimated £2 billion worth of publicly owned housing estates, schools, public facilities and private housing acquired through compulsory purchase orders to developer Lendlease.

London, UK. 2nd July 2017. Hundreds, many of whose homes are under threat of demolition, meet at Duckett's Common to march to a rally at Haringey Council where a cabinet meeting was expected to approve the Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV), Britain’s biggest collaboration yet between a local authority and a property developer, which will demolish a third of Haringey's social housing, handing over half of an estimated £2 billion worth of publicly owned housing estates, schools, public facilities and private housing acquired through compulsory purchase orders to developer Lendlease. The HDV is being imposed without proper public consultation and is being pushed through by a small cabinet of the Labour council and will hand huge profits to Lendlease. Opposed by many in the borough's Labour Parties, trade unionists, Greens, tenants, small businesses and community groups, it will price most existing residents out of the area in a massive wave of social cleansing. After a noisy protest outside some made a rush to get into the building. Security and police stopped them and locked the building so even some councillors coming for the meeting could not get in. The protesters then banged noisily on doors and windows around the building and held a rally on the steps of the main entrance.
