Drew demands Redknapp ‘face the residents’ he is evicting

FOOTBALL manager Harry Redknapp was told today to “face the residents he is evicting” through his plan to turn accommodation for the homeless into flats for the rich.

Labour general election candidate Corrie Drew, who will contest the Bournemouth East constituency, has penned a letter to the former Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur manager over plans by his company Pierfront Properties to redevelop the Hampshire town’s Belgravia Hotel into luxury flats.

In the letter, seen by the Morning Star, she demands that he come to meet the residents to hear their worries.
