Southwark TUSC are proudly supporting the campaigns against social cleansing and for decent secure council housing across Southwark but in particular the ongoing campaign at the Aylesbury estate. A statement for another local tenants group challenged the Labour councils role, arguing ‘no-one anywhere should vote Labour because the demolition and destruction of community and social cleansing being perpetrated is against democratic values Labour claim to respect.’ and demanding ‘ the resignation of Leader of the council (Peter John) and the member responsible for Regeneration.” See More

There has been some effective campaigns by a host of groups including FocusE15 and NewEra and the Radical Housing Network (RHN), who have a week of action on at the moment. “His budget goes to the vote on 23 February and if passed, will mean more sky-high rents, and sell-offs of the public land. It’s a recipe for bigger profits for landlords and developers, and more social cleansing and homelessness for ordinary Londoners.”

We’ve been part of those campaigns locally and in our respective boroughs and will join RHN on Monday 23rd 9-10am and again 12-2pm at City Hall The Queen’s Walk, London SE1 2AA. Twitter Hashtags #housingaction #blockthebudget

We will be also supporting the Southwark DCH march on Saturday March 14th, assembling at Noon Burgess Park (Old Kent Road end). Nick Wrack PPC for Camberwell & Peckham will be speaking on behalf of TUSC and Kingsley Abrams PPC for Bermondsey & Old Southwark joining the protest with other TUSC supporters.
