COP26: World leaders promise to end deforestation by 2030. Could someone let @lb_southwark know? They are still planning to cut down our mature trees - planning or no planning we will still protest and stop ✋🏼 building work bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

This👇 from our local MP presiding over more than 700 long-term empty council homes on the Aylesbury estate, with 1,300 more earmarked for demolition.

You knock down and sell off 4000+ council homes, preside over 1000+ empty ones and a 2500-home demolition pipeline. Then you go on TV complaining about a shortage of council housing! HYPOCRITE!

Our leader @kieronjwilliams was on BBC London Politics this weekend to talk about why London badly needs more council housing, and the funding challenges facing councils.

Having taken @lb_southwark to the cleaners with the rest of the Heygate redevelopment, @Lendlease has now sold the final plot to a venture capital firm for £42m - slightly less than it paid @lb_southwark for the entire 23-acre estate!

Make no mistake. The hoarding is a choice by @lb_southwark - they bulldozed a community centre and park when they knew they had a funding gap! No playground for our kids but, hey, @kieronjwilliams has a building site for his photo op bbc.com/news/articles/cj6kz7…

Here’s hoping @RachelReevesMP lifts the stone to actually see how badly some of her LA colleagues have managed their HRA budgets and council homes - whilst cuts are part of the problem, their failed ideology must be put under the spotlight - toe-curling financial incompetence
Exclusive - a cross-party group of 20 councils have come together to warn the new Labour Government that their finances are on the edge of a “precipice” and ask for urgent changes to the way their housing accounts work @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/councils-wa…

Yet they have nearly 1,600 council homes say empty right now. Abhorrent.
Exclusive: ‘No homes’ to bid on in Southwark for ‘up to 2 months’ with hundreds vying for one property

Building 90,000 #SocialHomes provides both immediate and long-term value for money for the government, the economy and the taxpayer 🏠
Over 30 years, these new homes will generate more than £30bn for the economy, including £12bn for the taxpayer.

Southwark Labour council sold 25 acre Heygate Estate to developers for mere £35m
Private developers sold nearby 1.5 acres for £40m
Councillors & council officers who did that deal should be jailed! Instead, some now work for developers!

THESE HOMES ARE STILL EMPTY👇
Hi @JohnsonSitu do you know why 70 new homes on the former Crown St Depot site in Camberwell continue to stand empty and derelict 5 years after being built?

Again here, re disastrous targeting of children's play/sports facilities, trees, breathable air, & green spaces for bad infill projects opposed by the communities they ruin. From demo to destitution, Feb 2024. Lab LA, Lab Mayor!? #BellsGardenEstate @lb_southwark

Too depressing. Another day, another story about children's needs being side-lined - robbing them of vital opportunities to play, decimating communities and storing up problems for the future including poorer mental and physical health. #rightoplay

#MustRead A disaster that is emblematic of what a recent judge called 'incoherence' @lb_southwark, which 'illustrates a crisis in how social housing is funded as well as an urgent need for better laws to protect children’s play spaces.'

@lb_southwark ‘extremely disappointed’ that they’ve had to stop the works. What a consolation to our children who are left with a building site and no play ground…utter failure by @SouthwarkLabour to allow demolition w/o funds in place 😡 theguardian.com/environment/…

Ten Years ago @lb_southwark pledged to build 11,000 additional council homes.
Today it has 1,113 fewer council homes, as demolitions and sell-offs continue to outstrip new-builds. 35percent.org/new-council-ho…
