STOP THE AUCTION OF KEYWORKER HOMES!

When Peabody bought our homes from the Crown Estate in 2010 they promised to safeguard and protect them for keyworkers. But now auction boards are springing up like mushrooms across our estates. On 25 October Peabody will flog much needed keyworker flats at 38 Gore Road, and 294 Old Ford Road to the highest bidder. 17 Robinson Road is also to be sold.

We have to act to stop this. We have written to Brendan Sarsfield (Peabody CEO) and politicians, but we need your help! Please can you:

1) Write or email Peabody CEO Brendan Sarsfield and your local MP (Brendan.sarsfield@peabody.org.uk) asking them to halt the sales.
2) Show your opposition to the sale by turning up outside 294 Old Ford Road and 38 Gore Road at the viewing times (Saturday 13th Old Ford 2.30-3.15pm, Gore Rd 3.15-4pm, then same times each Tuesday and Saturday till 25th) to protest.
3) Put the attached poster in your window, especially if you live near one of the flats to be sold.
4) use any social media and contacts you have to publicise and get support.

You can contact Nik Wood (marynik@btinternet.com) or Madeleine Davis (madeleine_davis@hotmail.com) for more information about how to help.

Great to stand in solidarity with you - from the Save Reginald Save Tidemill campaign in Deptford - against the "morally bankrupt" policies of the big housing associations outside City Hall on Thursday, prior to the GLA Housing Committee's meeting at which the CEOs of four HAs were questioned by Sian Berry and other Assembly members. Looking forward to campaigning with you again!'Shame on Peabody'! Great to see our placard at the centre of this photo taken at a protest outside City Hall yesterday by Green Party co-leader Sian Berry's assistant. Sian, who came to the garden to support our campaign a few weeks ago, is in the centre of the photo, with Tidemill supporter Captain Rizz.

The protest - against the "morally bankrupt" policies of the big housing associations, including Peabody, which wants to destroy the Old Tidemill Garden and Reginald House - had been called by HARA (Housing Association Residents Action), with the support of SHAC (the Social Housing Action Campaign), Homes for All, and Notting Hill Genesis Residents. Also present: representatives of tenants' organisation Peabody Family Voice (formed to protest the merger of Peabody and Family Mosaic last year), Fuel Poverty Action and Unite Housing Workers.

It was great to build bridges with other campaigners, and we look forward to working together in future!

Sian spoke to us all before the reason for our protest began - a GLA Housing Committee meeting, 'Housing Associations – are they still fit for purpose?', chaired by Sian, at which the CEOs of four housing associations (L&Q, Metropolitan, Catalyst and Network Homes) were questioned about their behaviour, which is of particular relevance as they are the primary recipients of the Mayor’s housing fund. Video of the meeting is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVnorNiEP2c ...
