The Latest on the Clays Lane Estate
Thursday, 21 June 2007
Clays Lane housing estate in Stratford was built in the 1970s and was Europe’s second largest purpose built housing cooperative consisting of 450 units.

It is the subject of a Compulsory Purchase Order by the London Development Agency to make way for the 2012 Olympic site.

All residents were promised equivalent, if not better, housing.

The following has been written by one of the remaining residents Julian Cheyne:



Clays Lane tenants are informed that the Government is becoming annoyed with the LDA and CBHA, our housing managers, because they have not yet cleared the Clays Lane estate. At a briefing yesterday Mr Blacker of the LDA said he thought the LDA would have to evict 'a handful' of tenants. We understand the idea is they should 'get tough' with the remaining tenants as if they are in some way being recalcitrant.

Dear Supporter of the Manor Garden Allotment campaign
Tuesday, 19 June 2007

The following is an appeal issued by Lifeisland Support and Campaign Group for Manor Garden Allotments


Apologies if you came to the High Court last Thursday and found it was cancelled. It was impossible to give advance warning as we only knew at 10.30 on Wednesday night that a good enough agreement had been reached to cancel. In fact negotiations on the fine detail continued on through Thursday morning with nine lawyers!
 
We have another stay of execution until 23rd September with restricted access. We also now have a failsafe relocation site in case we are finally evicted.
 
We'd like to call on your support and goodwill again for a gathering outside The London Studios, South Bank, London SE1 this Thursday 21st June at 6.15pm. This one will not be cancelled. ITV plan to film us.
