Council’s plan for ‘social cleansing’ sparks fury
Broadwater Farm estate ‘targeted for demolition’ under regeneration project
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.
