We Must Fight The Gentrification Of Our Cities And Defend Our Communities.

We Stand Together | 10.09.2010 14:30 | Culture | Free Spaces | Social Struggles | Birmingham | Liverpool

Across the country pubs and clubs, gig venues and community centres are being threatened by new developments and residents noise complaints. However ridiculous the idea of someone moving into a flat in a busy area surrounded by pubs and clubs and then complaining about it is in recent years some very well established music venues and bars have been closed for these very reasons. We must ensure the survival of communities and the survival of our community hot spots.

We must fight gentrification with every and any method we have.

Occupy new developments.

Petition and oppose Planning Applications that will threaten existing and well loved establishments.

We cannot lie down. We cannot use their avenues. We must find a voice.

Who's Streets? OUR STREET
