29 February 2012: H&F Council Drop in session
Security guards block residents from speaking to council officers. The Council invited residents to attend the drop-in session in order to discuss their concerns regarding the demolition of their homes as part of the Earl’s Court redevelopment project. Due to “security concerns” regarding the number of attendees, the meeting was prematurely called to an end by the council, after H&F refused to speak to the majority of residents.
9-year-old Ana Maria from the Gibbs Green estate made it inside to present the Council with a letter she wrote asking them not to demolish her home. Because they are private tenants, her family (including her new born baby brother) would be made homeless by the demolition scheme.
