Protesters Stand Up For The Elephant

Elephant and Castle, London. Thu 21 Jun 2018



 

 Victor from the UVW speaks in Spanish for the Latino community, many of whom rely on the Elephant shopping centre

 

 

 

 

 People move off and wait to cross the road

 

 But they stop on the crossing, blocking the busy road

 with a large banner

 'Stop the Elephant Development - Shame on UAL'

 Earlier this year students occupied part of the LCC in protest against the development

 

 Papaya Guthrie speaks

 and ignores the police who are trying to get her to move off the road. But after a few minutes the protesters

 do move and walk along the pavement

 

 to the grass around another development in the area - one of several tall tower blocks with no social housing

 They then return for a final rally outsiode the LCC

 Marianne Murray speaks

 and Papaya Guthrie

 

 who calls to the crowd to go to the LCC

 but her way is blocked by a line of police

 

 

 

After a few mintes Papaya Guthrie calls the protest to an end, though many of the students from the LCC stay on.
