@PotentOfficial solidarity from us all @Dis_PPL_Protest @OurBrixton need to keep the arches. It is the heart of Brixton.

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

TODAY! Three years ago on this very day, @networkrail announced plans to refurbish the Brixton Arches. Today we DEMAND that @lambeth_council shut this development down. It is UNSAFE and will compromise market traders on Brixton Station Road.

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

EXTREMELY worried for people who have to use Brixton Station Road, including train passengers and children at @BrixtonRec creche. This development by @networkrailis is dangerous and must not begin on Monday!! Have you heard about this @SadiqKhan @MumsnetLambeth?

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

Environmental conditions in the vicinity of the works will be impacted by unacceptable levels of noise, vibration & poor air quality, with dust & dangerous particulate matter, (PM 10’s and smaller), possibly carrying remnants of asbestos directly into the lungs of the community.

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

All say hello to Spence Ltd.
The contractors doing the pillaging
They'll put you in danger and kill off the traders
Or may wish that they'd never visited...

Making banners for Sunday's action! ❤️✊🏼

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

Why do @lambeth_council continue to allow @networkrail to breach their own planning conditions? Certain people aren't doing their jobs...

Magdalena Kotyza - Planning Officer
Wade Sowman - Planning Enforcement

[Our Brixton @OurBrixton]

This timeline shows @networkrail started evicting traders at the #BrixtonArches 18 months before they submitted their planning application to @lambeth_council. Tenants were physically evicted TWO YEARS prematurely and now only 25% of tenants will return. They wanted them gone...

[Save Brixton Arches @SaveBrixton]

DANGER: FIRE RISK!
@networkrail will only protect their own workers during the development. The rest of us will be at risk. This isn't even the half of it... #NetworkJail

[Potent Whisper @PotentOfficial]

LONDON! The @SaveBrixton campaign has always been a crucial battle in our fight against gentrification. To be clear, we are still fighting and we will shut it down
