Central Hill Open Gardens Estates

Crystal Palace, London. Sat 18 June 2016

  
 
 Simon Elmer of Architects for Social Housing asks Helen Hayes MP why she is at the Open Estates event

 She campaigned for the councillors who want to demolish the estate

 and in the recent by-election in the ward, where there was a huge swing from Labour to the Greens, over the library closure and estate demolition plans

 A Labour supporter with Helen Hayes argues with Simon Elmer

 Helen Hayes won't answer the questions, instead says her friend Jo Cox was killed

 and walks out. People were appalled that she used the murder of Jo Cox as an excuse

 The argument continued briefly without her, with Labour supporters arguing with Simon and Jane Nicholl who
told them of her disgust at Jo Cox's murder being used like this

 

 

 

 One of the estate residents shakes hands with Simon Elmer, praising him for the way he questioned the MP

 
 
A film is shown about how Southwark, a neighbouring Labour council mistreated residents in the redevelopment of Myatt Fields 

Work starts on a mural on a wall on the estate

The view from the flats at upper levels of the estate across Central London makes the site very attractive to developers
