Current proposals by London councils to redevelop low density council estates are creating fear and insecurity amongst council tenants, private tenants, leaseholders and freeholders. Councils carry out sham consultation and ignore the results so that they can ride roughshod over the residents. We need more council homes but this is not the democratic way to get them. Consultation needs to be genuine and the results respected. There is enough brownfield land in London to solve the housing problem. What is missing is the funding.
