LONDON! The Save Brixton Arches 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 Join our community action and Q&A session, Sunday 4th February. Event page: tr.im/SBA #NetworkJail
DANGER: FIRE RISK! Network Rail 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
This timeline shows Network Rail 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...
Why do Lambeth Council continue to allow Network Rail to breach their own planning conditions? Certain people aren't doing their jobs... Magdalena Kotyza - Planning Officer Wade Sowman - Planning Enforcement
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 Sadiq Khan Mumsnet Lambeth?
TODAY! Three years ago on this very day, Network Rail 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. More: tr.im/SBA RT RT
Potent Whisper solidarity from us all DPAC Our Brixton need to keep the arches. It is the heart of Brixton.
