Pete Elliott Homes for Lambeth Tenants Public Interest Law Centre. "Divide & conquer" is a favorite game of our council officers, although it becomes less successful each time it's exposed. It's only worked very patchily on Save Cressingham, & only a little more successfully on Lambeth's other "regeneration" estates.

my heart is with my former colleagues Sociology, Goldsmiths & other departs today where redundancy notices have been sent. It makes no sense to take a wrecking ball to the most vibrant & innovative intellectual community I have come across in order to cover mismanagement

Labour's plans to deregulate planning processes will further open up Britain to the property developers who have already caused so much damage to the country — and do little to help those at the sharp end of the housing crisis. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/07/deregu…

#OtD: 21st July 2023, #Brixton celebrates The Fall of #HondoTower. This was a huge achievement of Save Nour #FightTheTower #FightTheTower campaign & local communities' struggle against further #gentrification of the neighbourhood. 💥See how that frantic week unfolded: brixton-timeline.maydayrooms.org/#epilogue

Sadiq’s dagger to the heart of West London’s poorest communities - double-crossing and fast-tracking gentrification of one of London’s oldest street markets. Sadiq gave off-shore multi-billion developers 3 years to work up plans - but just a 6 hour window for objections. Shameful

I like this #OtD. For some reason i tend to forget victories more than defeats. The fall of #HondoTower was a victory, made possible by skilllfully & publicly using the kind of building regulations that are now dissed as nimby-protecting "red tape".

The public library as a social infrastructure: This can mean many things. Nice to see that Streatham Library has a monthly mtg for over 50s! #libraryresearch brixtonbuzz.com/2024/07/sociab…

Norwood library has a knitting & crochet group, just like the "Bücherei am Schöpfwerk in Vienna. #libraryresearch brixtonbuzz.com/2024/07/knitwi…

There's quite an affinity between public libraries and zine making. West Norwood offers a bring-your-baby zine club, #ILIT made zines with librarians and library managers. Alexa Färber brixtonbuzz.com/2024/07/bring-…

This is better than any speech from a politician we’ve heard recently 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

After a long hiatus SchNEWS appears back in print. Britain’s premier -albeit only- ‘party and protest’ news-sheet has finally returned. Containing the usual mix of high mirth, comment, information for action & radical contacts. Copy, print and distribute! 😍
