North Londoners took to the streets at the weekend to spurn Tottenham Hotspur’s plans to bulldoze thousands of local homes to pave the way for a new walkway.

Residents of Love Lane estate joined a Defend Council Housing picket of the Lilywhites’ Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday after the club decided on plans to concrete over 3,000 homes on the way to White Hart Lane.

Protest organiser Paul Burnham told the Star that locals were “outraged.”
