Fight to save loved garden

CAMPAIGNERS took to a south London high street this weekend in protest at their local council’s unpopular plans to destroy a community garden as part of a new housing development.

Residents have occupied Tidemill Garden in Deptford since Wednesday to prevent Lewisham Council boarding up the site. The Save Tidemill group is also fighting plans to demolish 16 council homes at nearby Reginald House.

On Saturday at least 100 activists and supporters marched in Deptford High Street to draw attention to Lewisham’s proposals.
