Council property developer bash hit by protesters
HARINGEY Council in north London met property developers yesterday in an attempt to flog off public land to the highest bidder.
Residents and housing campaigners protested outside the London Real Estate Forum (LREF) exhibition while councillor Alan Strickland argued in favour of “regeneration” in the borough.
“We want to totally reshape Tottenham Hale. Haringey is a borough open to experimenting with different types of regeneration,” said Mr Strickland during a panel discussion on “Opportunity London.”
