Southwark Council leader & Chief Exec in Lendlease promo

Southwark Council leader Peter John and Chief Exec Eleanor Kelly appear in a Lendlease promo video for 'Elephant Park' - aka the new Heygate estate.
Given that the Council negotiated a really poor deal with Lendlease both in terms of profit share (zero profit as yet) and social housing (82 of 2,704 new homes) it's difficult to understand why..

The idea of the original Heygate estate was to keep people out and that was a good thing, id rather live on the old estate.

No one is able to tell what’s private and what’s affordable because there’s fuck all affordable.

They were never on sale in the UK, they were snapped up in Singapore and only 79 of them were affordable, they are probably not affordable anymore.
