Please watch our new film. We funded it and made it for the community of Foxhill in Bath. It tells the story of a beautiful community who came together to fight the demolition of their homes and community. THEY WON!! https://t.co/FZZqjIXrMS

She remortgaged her home. They said no. She built MOBO anyway.

Yet another revised plan for Woolwich site.
It's now nine years since Greenwich sold Riverside House rather than convert/redevelop the site for housing (which would have saved large sums on temp housing costs since).
Many plans since. Nothing built.

£35K SEX IMAGE BOMBSHELL!
TEEN CLAIMS HE SPENT NIGHT IN HOTEL WITH HUW EDWARDS
Former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards paid a teenage boy at least £35,000 for sexual images and videos over three years, contact began when he was just 17.
Edwards then pressured him to meet in person and the pair spent the night together at the Marriott Hotel in Cardiff when the boy was 19.
The victim says he froze and pretended to sleep after Edwards tried touching him.
Edwards received a suspended sentence last year after admitting making indecent images of children, including Category A pics of kids aged 7-9.
The now-22-year-old has spoken out, how did he avoid jail?!?!
One of many examples of failed model of public private partnerships on public land.
Woolwich DLR sites. Announced almost 17 years ago, Not a single brick ever laid. Still ugly eyesores in the heart of town.
The Mayor banging the drum for housing model that's failed time and again.
Copley won't answer questions on why TfL sites eg Woolwich Arsenal DLR station vacant after 17 years with no progress.
Labour talk a good game; no real interest in grasping nettle. Public land. No plans.
But will it be built?
TfL are still sitting on vacant land around Woolwich DLR station after 17 years. Yep, 17 long years.
Nearby they saw approval to build above the eastern end of the Elizabeth line station in 2014. 12 years later and revision after revision = no start

PRESS RELEASE: HIGH COURT GRANTS HISTORIC PERMISSION FOR @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation TO CHALLENGE GOVERNMENT ON FAILURE TO ACT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION
This morning the High Court granted permission for charity, The Maggie Oliver Foundation, to challenge the Government on its failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The judgement is a moment of profound significance for survivors of child sexual abuse and for every child in this country whose safety depends on the Government honouring its commitments to reform.
The Court found that following promises from consecutive governments, over the last almost four years, to learn lessons from IICSA to drive improvement in the policy and legislation protecting children, there is a legitimate expectation for them to deliver the inquiry’s twenty recommendations. The judge specifically highlighted the continued permission of use of pain inducing restraint techniques on children, a practice described as amounting to torture by IICSA, as an area where the Government has not justified its failure to act.
The case will now proceed to a full substantive hearing.
Maggie Oliver (former Detective and founder of the Maggie Oliver Foundation) will say:
“Today is a historic day, not just for the Foundation, but for every survivor who has testified, waited and hoped. And it is for every child now and in the future, and for everyone who believes the state’s primary duty is to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. When governments make promises to act and then walk away, children pay the price. Today the court has said, those promises matter.”
