Eviction activists occupy building
Government department taken over in housing protest
Housing activists have occupied the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to protest over rising numbers of evictions.
Protesters from the London Renters action group brought sleeping bags and teddy bears into the entrance lobby of the DCLG headquarters on Wednesday afternoon in a protest over tenants’ rights.
“It is already easier to evict a tenant in the UK than it is in any other European country,” said occupier Emma Bradshaw.
