Bexley residents opposing plans to demolish their homes have been given notice to end their occupation of empty homes in the area in order to object to a scheme to deliver nearly 2,000 new units on the site.Protestors have been occupying homes on the Lesnes Estate in Thamesmead for five months in the hopes of blocking plans for Peabody to build 1,950 new homes.
But I thought everyone was in favour of cramming more and more tiny rabbit hutches onto every singlr square inch of London? Have the press been lying to me again?
Maria Ivanova, 72, has lived on the Lesnes Estate with her son since purchasing her home there in 2007."At this time, my family from Bulgaria visits me every summer. For the last two years they said this area has never been so dirty. It’s full of waste on the streets. It’s like nobody lives here… This rubbish stays there. There are flies and there is a smell when you pass it.”
And are Peabody doing that, Maria? Or is it someone else?
The homeowner claimed she felt the slow decline of the estate had been done intentionally by Peabody. Pictures seen by the LDRS show multiple cars on the estate with broken windows as well as a variety of fly-tipped household items including mattresses, bathtubs, chests of drawers and armchairs left in both communal areas and gardens of derelict homes.
Flytippers, Maria. The sort of people that make up your neighbourhood, most likely. Not the housing firm.
