Joke in one sense - but also an utter tragedy for working-class Londoners who are suffering from the decades’ long contraction in local authority housing provision, as discussed here: policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/estate-regener… & here (with Dr Anna Minton): tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

So far this week, Israel has murdered aid workers distributing food, left Al-Shifa hospital in ruins, and bombed Iran's embassy in Damascus. It has done this despite pleas and demands for explanation from America, Britain etc.
It is a rogue state.

Neighbours of West Kentish Town 🍃💚🍃 Camden Council Nasrine Kemi Badenoch AHMM Coffey Architects HNNA.co Paul Watt #LabourParty Councils across London have wasted so many opportunities to find meaningful solutions for despairing residents.

#Lambeth 's latest consultation on Fenwick Save Cressingham and Save Central Hill is yet another £1m wasted:

Camden Council Nasrine Kemi Badenoch AHMM Coffey Architects HNNA.co Another letter in CNJ, millions (£6,562,281) spent on WKTE redev and design that is “outdated, unsatisfactory, and hated”. The waste being a form of “abuse”.

We ask why this money couldn’t have been used to solve the damp problems and we could be in mould free homes by now?

Stoke Newington History The Hackney Society West Reservoir Don't forget the part in the 90's and 00's when it was a great lesson in 'managed decline' . This Paul Watt book tells the story quite well.
