The excitement was building as SHAPE supporters hit the streets on Saturday. 11 supporters were mass leafleting and the mood was high to to stop the Berkeley Homes development.
SHAPE also met up with Peter Apps this week, author of “Show Me the Bodies“, to talk about the campaign and what the proposed development means for Peckham. The Berkeley Aylesham Centre proposal, at 12% so-called affordable housing, was heading for refusal at planning committee. That’s why the developer decided to take its chances with the Planning Inspector instead. A big F.U. to the local Councillors and local people. Let’s keep up the pressure, on the council the developer and the government!
📣📣 It’s the PEOPLE vs The DEVELOPERS🤡🤡
