Gentrification

We aim to build community power by challenging the systems which enable gentrification. We provide legal advice and education to drive campaign-led litigation. We believe that housing is a basic human need and support communities opposing the attack on social housing and their communities at large.

Our legal expertise includes:

Resident estate ballots

Consultations around redevelopment of housing/land

Challenging planning decisions

Demolition of structurally sound buildings

Loss of green space on estates

Loss of community assets such as markets, libraries and community halls
