Clapham Park Estate (2)

  • Reference: 2018/5207
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2018
I have received reports that tenants on Clapham Park Estate were persuaded by Metropolitan Housing Trust to sign a petition urging Lambeth Council to grant planning permission to demolish their homes, in the mistaken belief that they would be able to move into new homes to be built on the site. Some of these residents now face eviction. Have you received similar reports and, if so, how are you responding?

Clapham Park Estate (1)

  • Reference: 2018/5206
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2018
Residents of Clapham Park estate were not aware of any future demolition plans when they voted to transfer their estate from Lambeth Council to Metropolitan Housing Trust in 2005, nor were they balloted on the demolition plans that were approved by Lambeth Council in March 2018. How will these residents be helped by your new ballots policy for estate demolition and regeneration on?
