e current planning regime policies importantly okrpeople write that the area action plan should thus make social housing construction its priority and yet there is no clear commitment to the number of social housing units that will be built or to how they will be financed this is a top point as the corrupt state of the economy itself somewhat of a fiction or vast hostage situation that we re supposed to believe in although it s entirely out of our hands sadly does mean that projections of construction and profits are now subject to a major panic in boardrooms across the world will be interesting to see how global real estate markets fare locally as we go into the long expected major recession with mass unemployment and further rounds of austerity but let s not bank on this saving the okr as the real truth is any financial crisis is that those who have the most still gain the most with bailouts and the shifting of their private debts into the public purse not only this scenario but the government s intended ripping up of current planning regulations in total favour of developers might make our current okr gold rush look like a an afternoon out window shopping at gerald ratners to save time the sturdy and committed 35 campaign have written extensively here and here and here about the coming wave of luxury housing developments and all the intrigue and bullshit that goes with it your weekly reminder too that all of this pro developer malarkey is happily waved through by your local labour run southwark council ormside st penarth st and environs se15 photographing the area under threat non nostagically any road up all this as a really long way to say that we and our mate martin dixon wanted to make sure what ever happens that there is a solid record of what is here and there now so we took a lovely very hot summer day walk from the peckham side of the okr bianca rd latona rd to the rotherhithe side ilderton rd via backstreets by the gasometers and snapped away like crazy just like our recent page on bermondsey where we are tried to capture those commercial sites that will undoubtedly be knocked on the head in favour of posh flats we are doing the same here but on a much much larger scale along the way we found empty sites and sites now taken over in the meanwhile by first numerous evangelical churches and more recently artists artists studios and art businesses it remains an amazing terrain to mooch about you should do it vital okr s map of commercial usage of land not much to say to end on except that when london is just one large landscape of luxury towers dominated by the mostly dire subjectivities of new build homeowners then we can only wonder what on earth we are doing here like our opening fragments of some of our histories along the old kent rd there is so much here that we should be defending not only shops and stuff but really our way of life different ways of life among us all for sure but as a working class neighbourhood there is something we all have in common simply put the rich will fuck us as said above oh old kent rd old kent rd damn it s just not a place you should fuck with vast hostage situation is a term used

the arts london and their anti racism commitments posted in uncategorized what remains on the streets of bermondsey posted on may 10 2020 comments off on what remains on the streets of bermondsey bermondsey has a history as a solidly working class area since the middle of the 19th century when the area was rammed with factories commercial buildings small industrial buildings and units plus hundreds of railway arches along the original london and greenwich railway line it was in these streets that food processing for example employed thousand of workers at famous sites like crosse blackwell on crimscott st peek frean s biscuits on drummond st or sarsons vinegar hartley s jams on tower bridge rd the neighbourhood also has dozens of council estates ranging from all the great periods of council house building programmes in the 20th century such as the elim estate the purbrook estate the neckinger estate the meakin estate and so on most of these were designed and built by the london county council this brick built deck access modernist inflected architecture is famous and each estate has its own custom features like massive entry arches or large common garden areas since the turn of the millennium however new build housing development in bermondsey london se1 has been increasing year by year as the area continues its real estate make over walking around the area recently we were struck by just how many developments sites there were demolitions and conversions of old factories and warehousing are bringing in huge developments of 1000 s of mostly private and expensive flats london square bermondsey development grange rd prices from 895 000 stands as a good example of the gold rush walking the remains of the older businesses in bermondsey s streets our walk took in that large parcel of land between old kent rd and the railway viaducts along druid st there were still remnants and vistas of the old industrial landscape familiar in memory to those who ve lived here for a while the occasional factory gate or chimney still remains often now packaged up as heritage and as working class history re versioned to fit the totally ahistorical marketing talk of new luxury developments bermondsey is now often cited by estate agents types as up and coming vibrant and diverse etc the spiel is endless of course adding to this has been the make over of the area in the last ten years by foodie markets and good vibes where bermondsey can now be described by marketing for a new development as fast becoming a sought after area to live and socialise due to its thriving bar and restaurant scene we asked our good friend in all these kind of matters martin dixon to set off with his camera and document some of bermondsey s still remaining commercial sites that we fear in the next five years will all be gone as the bubble economy of housing expands ever outwards lovely stuff just to say some of these businesses are no longer what they are advertised as for example walter coles polythene bag place on tanner st is now rented out as a location for film and photographic work check out martin s websites for more of his good goods photos http www

elephant posted on march 13 2020 comments off on where s delancey property developer delancey afraid of the elephant occasionally the elephant and castle community is visited by those who have the power to destroy it in this case the main culprit is the tax avoiding offshore registered company delancey we remember the hilarious moment a couple of years ago when one of the delancey minions was presenting planning updates to the local community at one of those southwark council run neighbourhood meetings where the said minion was asked about the fate of pricebusters the minion said he didn t know what pricebusters was well seeing as pricebusters is one of the biggest stores in the elephant shopping centre you could probably start to form some suspicions that the plans to regenerate the elephant weren t so much aimed at local people and their shops but maybe only every so slightly they might actually be aimed at a different clientele hmmm what do you think a lo and behold there came that time again this thursday march 12 th at southwark s empowering communities north west area forum at amigo hall in lambeth rd where locals were promised that the meeting will include an update from delancey on the redevelopment of the elephant castle shopping centre now as you may know the excellent community campaign up the elephant has been working tirelessly for a few years resisting the social cleansing plans for the elephant in that time the campaign has also secured many improvements to the original proposals submitted by delancey to southwark council in oct 2016 an increase of social rented housing from 33 units of social rented equivalent owned and managed by the developer to 116 proper social rented units owned and managed by council or housing association provision of affordable retail space for displaced traders in the shopping centre helped to establish a traders panel for shopping centre businesses to put their views and needs across secured a temporary traders premises on castle square trader relocation fund of 634 700 and pressured the council to add a further 200 000 into the pot argued for 15 year affordable retail leases rents to be held at 75 market for years 6 15 a change to the s106 legal agreement to better ensure any future increase in social rented housing this slideshow requires javascript none of this comes without a fight though and up the elephant and supporters have been holding both the council and delancey to account through protests public meetings stalls outside the shopping centre benefit film nights and so on but it s crunch time at the elephant as delancey has announced a closure date of the centre for 31 st july 2020 a matter of only a few months away both latin elephant and up the elephant have been doing an amazing job mapping which traders are there how many are being offered any relocation and working with traders to fight their corner for decent compensation and or relocation as we write we know that many traders are simply not being helped by delancey shops and stalls are closing down and the increasing uncertainty of whether many of these hand to mouth businesses can survive until july particularly affected are the traders who run market stalls outside the shopping centre viewed by delancey as the least desirable in the shiny new development they are currently getting the worst of it you can read a good breakdown of the state of things here property developers worse than estate agents when developers visited the city the used to creep in at the side door now the councilors bring them in the front door one on each arm not only had it become respectable for councilors to be seen with developers it soon became imperative to be involved with them indeed it got to the stage where councilors and developers became indistinguishable the only real way they could be told apart was that the developer was always talking and the councilor was forever nodding his or her head from glasgow s not for sale by brendan mclaughin in the reckoning by workers city 1990 for us at southwark notes somewhat long in the tooth but fighting fit most days we remember the time when working class communities such as ours viewed the property developer like the landlord as a class enemy what was known was that deep down despite any promises the property developer just wasn t on our side what ever they brought to the community wouldn t be any good what they wanted was to profit and profit big and we were simply in the way we knew that and communities worked from that intuition this slideshow requires javascript as times went by the story changed in southwark the controlling labour council is mostly made up of those who still believe in some working class aspirational nonsense they got from tony blair s new labour project they also believe in the blairite project of regeneration that seeks to rebalance communities by moving many more middle class people into them to make this happen southwark has been demolishing whole estates or estate blocks to allow private developers to then build 1000s of luxury or overpriced flats as well as the mythical affordable housing as a small percentage of the overall new houses being constructed although this might have a basis in some wacky new labour urban policies of yore for developers it s a green light to come to our communities displace them demolish their organic fabric and make loads of profits for themselves and their investors the quote above from the excellent workers city book out of glasgow speaks directly to our experience of southwark council s extended love in with developers over the last 10 years peter john the leader of the council standing down after a ten year reign this month sadly won t be able to have one last junket in cannes at the annual property development jamboree mipim as it has been postponed due to the corona virus shame as that trip was sponsored by 2020 capital developers of two sites in the old kent rd area avanton owners of several old kent rd sites including the ruby triangle and gasworks berkeley who have plans for a site on malt street british land the council s

kent road urban provincial developers of carpetright site you see where workers city and we are going with this how about fuck delancey as the slogan when the delancey date with the local community was announced a few weeks ago up the elephant decided to in some ways escalate their campaign by hosting an unwelcoming delancey protest outside the empowering communities event and to tell delancey plainly to their face that we will fight to win this campaign but fighting to win needs fighting words and so the event was underscored with the idea that the brilliant community of the elephant will no longer stand deferent to the higher ups the powers that be the developers and the council and any or all of those who are complicit in the destruction of our neighbourhood although the demo would not interfere with those attending who wanted to hear updates from the council we would face delancey down with a less than happy smiley face the modern political terrain seems to be one where politeness is demanded at all times from we underlings lest those in power don t get their way of course the actual slow violence of destroying ...
