A decision on the temporary space for Elephant & Castle traders in Castle Square has been DEFERRED to allow new information on rent levels paid by existing shopping centre tenants to be gathered

[Rainbow Collective 💚 @TRCdocumentary]

Great turnout for the protest outside Southwark HQ on Tooley Street. Many great speeches in support of the elephant and castle shopping centre traders.

Yesterday @SadiqKhan defied objections from all 4 local Labour parties (@BOSLabour @BOBALabour @FaradayLabour @NWalworthLabour) and hammered the final nail in the coffin of Elephant & Castle's long-standing low-income community.

And a statement from our campaign partner @LatinElephant

[Peckham Constituency Labour Party @PeckhamLabour]

Statement to @SadiqKhan signed last night by 7 @UKLabour Councillors (including Camberwell & Peckham) in wards around #elephantandcastle, “…as a Labour Mayor of London he must insist on changes which can fix these significant moral and policy failings.” @se1 @UpTheElephant_ https://t.co/burPger9ui

[Ledbury Action Group @LedburyAction]

Delancey just gained committee approval of their development plans for Elephant & Castle by 4 votes to 3. Some councillors voting on conditions of more conditions that may never transpire. Delancey, we heard on exit, have gone for celebratory drinks, the community left weeping

[Apoyo Comunitario #Dignity4Migrants 🦋 #StatusNow @Dignity4Migrant]

We're utterly disappointed with Southwark Council's vote held last night betraying the Latinx & local community of #ElephantandCastle. But the fight is not over, our protest is only changing address. Next stop: GLA @SadiqKhan. #FightGentrification https://t.co/mFcFxuzBB9

@jackbuck123 @LatinElephant @UpTheElephant_ @rebeccalury @paulwfleming @karleastham @MerrillDarren @cllrmseaton @helendennis80 @35percent_EAN This is my letter to Sadiq but yes very happy to meet you all 👍🏾

[Camberwell Green Labour @CamberwellGnLab]

Following the disappointing #ElephantDevelopment decision we unanimously passed a motion demanding @SadiqKhan step up & use his power to improve the plan for local people.

We also express solidarity with the @SouthwarkLabour cllrs who stood up, spoke out and opposed the plans.

If it wasn't because of a united and strong campaign we would not have gained some concessions to this application. #MigrantEconomies #MigrantCities #LatinLondon @LatinElephant https://t.co/jWVzhahvBX
