A group of tenants are protesting against council plans
to demolish over three and a half thousand homes on council estates, a move
which they describe as ‘social cleansing.’ The source of much of the tension is

and turned into high density, mainly private housing. The total number of homes
that are planned to be demolished under the current agenda is 3,644 in thirteen
different locations around Tottenham. The protesters say that this will have no
help for people on the council waiting list or for families who are currently
in temporary accommodation. Read more on 24dash.
