ASH presentation to Lambeth Council – Central Hill
May 19th, 2016
I think it needs to be known how Lambeth Council behave when confronted with alternative proposals to their demolition plans to the estates in the borough over which they presently have political control.
If you don’t follow ASH on Twitter or are not a member of the Facebook group or read their blog you will probably not be aware of the hostility they are up against on a day to day basis in putting forward an alternative method of dealing with the housing situation in Lambeth.
Once again therefore, rightly or wrongly, I feel it necessary to publish what happened the night ASH tried to present their alternative proposals for Central Hill to Lambeth Council.
You can read about the presentation itself on their blog here:-

What you’re less likely to read is what follows, as published on the Facebook page. Once again I don’t know if I ought to be doing this but I think you are entitled to know, if you have any interest in the housing situation in London.

Joanna Spiers, from the East End of Glasgow, who found herself sharing a train carriage with Corbyn on Friday, says: “I felt like someone was speaking to me about the Labour of my youth, my upbringing. I haven’t been able to feel trust like that since John Smith was alive. And, whisper it, but I don’t even think his ideas are that radical!”
