The Aylesbury estate in Southwark is due to be regenerated by demolishing the current estate and completely rebuilding the structure. We want to raise awareness of how this regeneration will effect ordinary, working class people and how it could be made more reasonable for everyone,
- Many people will be priced out of the places they once called home and are forced into accepting insulting compulsory buy orders.
- There are no plans to rebuild the quantity of social housing that currently stand, which leaves current tenants homeless and some forced to leave London all together.
- Some tenants are put into temporary accommodation for the process of the regeneration but due to the high rent prices will never be able to move back into the new build.
We have interviewed residents of the estate about the regeneration who have said:
- They are being downsized during the process but are having to pay more for rent and bills.
- Home owners are being offered 1/3 of their property value and being moved into properties that they will need to pay rent on

Strongly support the construction of affordable homes, including the upgrading of '60s estates. Strongly opposed to the increase of uninhabited luxury buildings.
Residents should be given a full market price for their home and not forced into compulsory buy orders at lower market value. The re-build must provide sufficient social housing to meet the needs of current residents at an affordable price.
Regeneration is a necessary part of development for the future, But making people who fought for this country homeless in the process is just not fair.
It's unfair for the young or for people not earning enough to be able to have their own place without going on benefits
So far so good guys! Keep sharing and spreading the word! Tell your friends, family, put it on social media! The more signatures we get the more chance of these people getting support #allpeoplematter

Like so much recent market-driven 'urban development' this smacks of social cleansing and should be resisted at every level.
