Squatters Take over Britain's Most Expensive Council House

Squatters occupying Britain’s most expensive council house vowed to fight attempts to evict them after it was sold for nearly £3 million. The group moved into the four storey building as it went up for auction to protest against the sale of council housing stock.  The Grade II listed property fetched £2.96 million, considerably more than its reserve price of £2.25 million. Seven protesters occupied the premises. They claim Southwark is in urgent need of public housing with 25,000 people on the council waiting list. Read more on the Evening Standard website.
