HOUSING campaigners accused a north London council of “social cleansing” yesterday after an estate housing nearly 4,000 people was included in the authority’s regeneration plans.
Haringey residents came together outside a full meeting of the borough’s council, warning that the authority was planning to bulldoze iconic social-housing project Broadwater Farm.
The council denied the allegation but did confirm that a regeneration project was under way with a 50 per cent investment from a private developer.
CAROL WILCOX argues for the proper implementation of the land value tax, which could see unused plots sold off and landlords priced out of landlordism, potentially resolving the housing and planning crises
Our housing crisis isn’t an accident – it’s class war, trapping millions in poverty while landlords and billionaires profit. To solve it, we need comprehensive transformation, not mere tokenistic reform, writes BECK ROBERTSON
