"We're just hanging on, waiting and waiting"
Brilliant piece by Darryl Chamberlain @greenwich_wire about our campaign and the 12 YEARS of uncertainty locals have been subjected to by @Royal_Greenwich

Hopefully they get on and build unlike:
Woolwich DLR station plots gone nowhere for 16 years
Woolwich Liz line site 11 years and counting of inaction. Previous approved plan now being revised.
And finally Kidbrooke site has halted 2/3s through. No word from TfL or PfL
"We're not forcing anyone out... yet"
Said by @MajidurR just now at the @Royal_Greenwich Full Council Meeting.
Making the council's position on local ethnic businesses PAINFULLY CLEAR
Fair engagement NOW ‼️
After 9 months with no communication, @Royal_Greenwich have finally been in touch... A THREAD
The development is paused until February 2026
That's 6 months longer in limbo. The council are offering:
NO meaningful engagement
NO local relocation
NO reasonable compensation

REFURBISH DON’T DEMOLISH
PHASE 2B ON THE AYLESBURY ESTATE
NHG’s new proposed plans:
❌️Are not good for the environment
❌️Are not good for the community
🌈Other better options are possible
May 2024, May 2025, August 2025...
These are all dates when @Royal_Greenwich CPO was supposed to take effect to build @WoolwichXchange
No communication since October.
What is happening?
@mtpennycook can you look into this?
We were part of the anti gentrification march organised by @ShapeCoalition1 on Saturday -Developers want 2 demolish Aylesham centre & continue gentrification of Peckham destroying Rye lane in the process & displacing w/c ppl - we made this little film https://t.co/NSnfkGq69W
@MyWoolwich@NewsShopper This quote from the article says it all: “There is a divide,” they said. “Across the road it’s a different story.”
We need proper engagement with locals for #Development in #woolwich, but @Royal_Greenwich is keeping us in the dark.
That's why we've launched our campaign
Really important decisions will be made on housing and the legacy of Grenfell in the coming days.
I spoke to @DailyMirror about the need for serious investment in social housing, speeding up remediation work, supporting evacuation plans for disabled people, and introducing a National Oversight Mechanism so that Public Inquiry recommendations lead to real change.
