An invitation to tenants, a Zoom meeting about estate demolition
Thursday, 28th January 2021
• MORE than 100 social housing estates in London are under threat of demolition, indeed, on some of these estates, demolition is already well under way.
Six of the estates, comprising over 1,700 social rented homes, are in Westminster and include: Church Street Area, Cundy Street, Ebury Bridge, Hall Place, Lilestone and Lisson Green estates.
Most of the social rented homes that are under threat of demolition in London need refurbishing but do not need to be demolished.
Council land is being used to develop a much larger number of homes, many of them simply not being affordable to the existing social housing tenants.
London Tenants Federation, working with Just Space, has established a website – Estate Watch – which provides more information about demolition of social rented homes in London.
We also hold meetings for tenants and leaseholders whose homes are at risk. The next of these (via Zoom) meetings is on Monday, February 1.
Any tenants and leaseholders from the estates we have listed above are very welcome to attend. Please email us on info@londontenants.org and we will send you a Zoom link.
