Revisiting the Heygate

The Heygate estate regeneration revisited.

Greedy Southwark council, developers, investers. People were robbed and the law made sure they got screwed.

The council took their time to build the new properties because people from the estate (I heard) only had a right to return within 7 years. And in many places if not all the new buildings were not built until way after that deadline. Cleansing by the council, can’t call it ethnic cleansing because we had so many people from so many different backgrounds living there. It was a good place to live and now that the original tenants are gone it will never be that way again. Shame on the council.
