Community group. Yes to social housing. NO to @lb_southwark building on green space.

COP26: World leaders promise to end deforestation by 2030. Could someone let ⁦@lb_southwark⁩ know? They are still planning to cut down our mature trees - planning or no planning we will still protest and stop ✋🏼 building work https://t.co/83bUbzuR3m

This👇 from our local MP presiding over more than 700 long-term empty council homes on the Aylesbury estate, with 1,300 more earmarked for demolition.

[35% Campaign @35percent_EAN]

You knock down and sell off 4000+ council homes, preside over 1000+ empty ones and a 2500-home demolition pipeline. Then you go on TV complaining about a shortage of council housing! HYPOCRITE!

Having taken @lb_southwark to the cleaners with the rest of the Heygate redevelopment, @Lendlease has now sold the final plot to a venture capital firm for £42m - slightly less than it paid @lb_southwark for the entire 23-acre estate!

Make no mistake. The hoarding is a choice by ⁦⁦@lb_southwark⁩ - they bulldozed a community centre and park when they knew they had a funding gap! No playground for our kids but, hey, ⁦@kieronjwilliams⁩ has a building site for his photo op https://t.co/Tt1VCvqywu

This from the MP overseeing the needless demolition of 2,500 structurally-sound council homes in her own constituency - #AylesburyEstate👇

[35% Campaign @35percent_EAN]

Number of new council homes built by @lb_southwark in the last 10 years: 1,486.
Number of council homes demolished by @lb_southwark in the last 10 years: 4,382.

Here’s hoping @RachelReevesMP lifts the stone to actually see how badly some of her LA colleagues have managed their HRA budgets and council homes - whilst cuts are part of the problem, their failed ideology must be put under the spotlight - toe-curling financial incompetence

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

Yet they have nearly 1,600 council homes say empty right now. Abhorrent.

Building 90,000 #SocialHomes provides both immediate and long-term value for money for the government, the economy and the taxpayer 🏠

Over 30 years, these new homes will generate more than £30bn for the economy, including £12bn for the taxpayer.

[Peter Tatchell @PeterTatchell]

Southwark Labour council sold 25 acre Heygate Estate to developers for mere £35m

Private developers sold nearby 1.5 acres for £40m

Councillors & council officers who did that deal should be jailed! Instead, some now work for developers!

Again here, re disastrous targeting of children's play/sports facilities, trees, breathable air, & green spaces for bad infill projects opposed by the communities they ruin. From demo to destitution, Feb 2024. Lab LA, Lab Mayor!? #BellsGardenEstate @lb_southwark

[London Play @londonplay]

Too depressing. Another day, another story about children's needs being side-lined - robbing them of vital opportunities to play, decimating communities and storing up problems for the future including poorer mental and physical health. #rightoplay

[guy mannes-abbott @guymannesabbott]

#MustRead A disaster that is emblematic of what a recent judge called 'incoherence' @lb_southwark, which 'illustrates a crisis in how social housing is funded as well as an urgent need for better laws to protect children’s play spaces.'

@zoekennedy This is our estate! Not only should funding be available but councils shouldn’t demolish existing community infrastructure without it being guaranteed. Our community centre, playgrounds, green space - all reduced to rubble. Only then do @lb_southwark realise there’s no money…

[SaveBellsGardens 🍃💚 🍃🏡 @SaveBells]

⁦@lb_southwark⁩ ‘extremely disappointed’ that they’ve had to stop the works. What a consolation to our children who are left with a building site and no play ground…utter failure by ⁦@SouthwarkLabour⁩ to allow demolition w/o funds in place 😡 https://t.co/jRQvuJ1N1L
