The developers finally backed down and abandoned their plan to turn our home into overpriced flats. Keeping this building standing against their greed was a massive win for everyone who deserves a place to live in this town. Watch this space because we are staying put and ensuring this property …
we are squatting a building in lewes that has been empty for a number of years and the developers are trying to knock down to build 11 over priced modern flats on the land. the victoryian society have been pushing to get the building listed for afew years now but with no luck, the building is a part of lewes history and it would be a terrible shame to see it be knocked down. we need as many signatures as possible to show that people would rather this building be used as a home for local people than just a way of over developing a small town and making a large profit. we are group of young people who cant afford to rent in the town they have grown up in but where there is empty propertys just left to rot . we are not drug users and have respect for our neighbors . we treat the house like our home and as we would if we were renting the property . please show your support and sign the petition thank you for your time.
The massive surge in support proves these greedy developers that this building is not just some empty asset waiting to be flipped for a profit. We have built enough momentum to make them sweat because the town is finally waking up to their destruction.

Lewes has enough luxury flats already. Leave the history alone and let people actually live in homes instead of lining developers pockets.

Ridiculous that this building just sits there empty for years. People need a place to live. Leave them be.
