Support Opposition to Hackney Council’s Estate Plus scheme on Tuesday the 1st of
Against Poverty | 27.06.2008 15:01
While plans to demolish Glascoyne II estate in Hackney Wick under Estates Plus were halted in 2007 by tenants’ protests, now Hackney Council wants to try it on Frampton Park estate, between Mare St and Well St. Six new blocks of flats are planned on Frampton Park, squeezed in between existing blocks, built on garages, a play ground, and next to another playground.
A campaign group has been begun by Tenant representatives who are worried that if Council makes Estates Plus happen on Frampton Park then they will do the same across the borough. There seems to be a high level of opposition to the plans from Frampton Park residents, who don’t want to see their land sold.
The Council have timed their drop in when most people are at work, or still travelling home. Because it is not a easy time to make, if you can make it you are really needed! Please come to the Kings Hall, Frampton Baptist Church, Frampton Park Road, off Well St from 4 - 6 pm on Tuesday the 1st of July, to help leaflet and support tenants in opposing the scheme.

This article in today's Daily Mail exposes Labour's lies about playing fields.
Labour said this in its 1997 election manifesto:
"We will bring the Government's policy of forcing schools to sell off playing fields to an end."
John Prescott said: "It is crucial that we protect our open spaces and playing fields" (24 July 2004)
Gordon Brown said: "For the first time for many years, the number of playing fields is going up again and we have tried to make it very, very difficult to sell off school playing fields." (25 October 2006)
That's unless you're a Labour councillor in Wrexham, where it's still OK to sell school playing fields.
