RESIDENTS of a soon-to-be demolished housing estate in north London begin refurbishing a local building today.
Former Sweets Way tenants have occupied yet another house on the forlorn estate armed with paint, brushes and £300 pledging to redo the place to “high standards” in a bid to show how community efforts work better than the council’s regeneration project.
The site is expected to be inhabitable by Monday and opened to the public as a “people’s regeneration show home.”
A Sweets Way Resists campaign spokesman told the Star: “The whole premise of the so-called Sweets Way regeneration is outrageous, given the quality of homes on the estate.
“If others across London picked up the baton on this simple idea, we could show the regeneration racket for what it is and could keep countless homes available to the people who need them, rather than handing them over to private developers to turn massive profits on.”
