Love & solidarity to all at Latin Elephant. We stand with you to #ProtectOurPlaces. #NoPriceOnCulture
Thank you for all the amazing support so far for long-standing Elephant traders evicted in October! Traders have £750 to raise by January for legal fees so they're not out of pocket after their unfair eviction! Every share & donation helps ♥️ https://t.co/EfP3rf0wyh

When it’s developers v people, usually the money wins. “But if government could take a leaf out of Wandsworth’s book and stand up to developers, rather than rolling out the red carpet, then perhaps local communities would be all the richer for it”

I visited Amu Gib today — on hunger strike for 32 days. Her condition is extremely frail. For 10 days the prison refused to acknowledge she was even on hunger strike. Another prisoner, Qesser (20), has dangerously low BP + high heart rate, but is being blocked from hospital

Does building another monster office block, for a global financial institution, benefit the well being and quality of life of people who live in London? Whose interests should new developments serve?
This is really fantastic news for London and the UK @MayorofLondon @LDN_economy @jpmorgan to build £3 billion mega tower HQ at Canary Wharf in boost for London

Green spaces vanish and unaffordable housing goes up when developers call the shots. A Charter for Community Rights would give local people real power over place-making and the ability to challenge decisions. Power to the people—not the deepest pockets.

101 months since we lost our 72 The Tower is coming down, but still no justice. Government continues to drag its feet on Inquiry recommendations & there’s no progress on a National Oversight Mechanism to ensure lessons are learned. We won't stop until we get justice & change.

The oldest meat & fish markets in London, which date back 850 years, are facing closure from 2028. Smithfield meat market & Billingsgate fish market are to close after the City of London Corporation voted to withdraw support. A huge blow to independent fresh food suppliers.

This is the Yoo Capital monster devouring West London. Zero community benefit - even the school is private, not even a new lift for the station. Yoo Capital are threatening similarly outlandish monsters at West Kentish Town - RESIST, RESIST, RESIST

Rejection by @LBHF of ACV status for #ShepherdsBushMarket contradicts the 2016 appeal court ruling that halted previous development stating that "The market is part of the social fabric of the area...It provides a social function to the local community." https://t.co/M1VwpNE63U

How can @LBHF deny that SBM furthers the social wellbeing or interest of the community? Why didn't they even speak with us about the application? Is Shepherd's Bush Market being gentrified? Battle over future as one side's bid to 'protect' it fails

Yoo Capital's redevelopment of the famous West London market was first approved nearly two years ago but a row over its future means it's not moved forward

The founding principles of democracy & representation in planning decisions, laid out in 1947 TCPA, are being trashed. Corporate capture by the property lobby. Developers met ministers dozens of times over planning bill while ecologists were shut out

@justspace7 conference today - bringing together the riches of community voices across London - creating an alternative London Plan for a Caring City. So much knowledge & experience shows there is another way, than the destruction & displacement of speculative development.
