Sweets Way campaigners in DIY action
A FORMER Sweets Way resident whose life was turned upside down by Barnet Council’s decision to sell the estate proudly opened a community “show-home” to the public today after 72 hours of renovation works.
Inspired by popular extreme-makeover initiatives, former residents and volunteers came together to redo one of the empty north London estate’s homes.
Mother-of-two Anna Kasperek said she felt the need to prove to the council how regeneration should be led by the community and not for profit.
