Reps the Cat

"I'm still upset what the people are doing around here. They make nobody know what's going on. Nowhere for the kids to play. This is totally wrong." Fyre. People aren't going to soon forget what @lb_southwark has done to this community. Over 200 testimonies on twitter.

"I was incredibly surprised. I couldn't go my normal route because all these metal fences had been erected. Private houses are being built where the old school was." David. @lb_southwark is destroying a park to create luxury private housing without having consulted residents.

"I didn't know they were building over the park. [I found out] literally when it was boarded up. Nobody asked if it was okay and they did it anyway." Beckie. @lb_southwark lie when they say they consulted. They didn't even tell residents. 175+ video testimonies on Twitter.

Here's the full video from Sabi. We cut it off by accident. When @lb_southwark says they consulted or that they care about the community they aren't telling the truth. No one was told. Demo tomorrow Tuesday 7th September, 6pm 160 Tooley Street, SE1 2QH.

ITV News visited Peckham Green today. The people of Peckham weren't told @lb_southwark were building luxury flats on their public park and the people don't want it. #youdontbuildonparks Building on greenspaces is not a solution to the housing crisis.

As for your "consultation", see the 130 statements from residents posted in this Twitter feed. You didn't even tell the people, which is unlawful, let alone involve them. You are lying.

Guardian paper today. This isn't going away. #Youdontbuildonparks Save Peckham Green! amp.theguardian.com/society/… @harrietgrant

"No one in the neighbourhood was really privy to it. They never gave us any information about it. We feel the park should remain." Ediri. @lb_southwark did not do a consultation. They didn't even tell the people they were taking the park. Southwark has acted unlawfully.

So you @lb_southwark called Peckham Green "Flaxyard" after the company you bought it from in 1995? No locals ever called it Flaxyard. That's why locals didn't know that you meant their park and had been planning its theft since 2016. You're a swindler.

"If [Southwark] are proud of what they are doing they should have informed people. I've noticed - many people have noticed- that that they are not proud of it." Elizabeth. @lb_southwark know they're doing bad things. You don't steal parks to build private flats.

"I would feel very sad if this park was just gone. I did not know about this. If you (Save Peckham Green) weren't here I wouldn't have had a clue, actually." Amandine @lb_southwark didn't tell locals it was building private flats on their public park. @LBC @EddieNestorMBE

21st Century Enclosure. @lb_southwark council steals public park in poor Peckham to build luxury flats and townhouses (and then says it's for social housing!). 72 private homes being built. @BBCPolitics @TheEconomist @HousingActionSL

Small Victory @lb_southwark admits that residents call it 'Peckham Green' and that it is green land. Finally! Listen to us on the BBC. Go to minute 5 and minute 65. Meet at the Green Saturday 5pm in the Peckham Pulse parking. We fight on! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09r32…

.@lb_southwark fences off Melon Road without even posting a notice. Two years' of inconvenience. And then a lifetime of not having a park. No signs for ways around for what they're doing. And the people are just learning about this. This is Southwark Council. An embarrassment.

Now 105 testimonies from residents who feel they were treated badly by @lb_Southwark Council. They weren't informed about building plans and they don't want to lose their park. Southwark acts unlawfully!

"My name is Yasser. I didn't know about this. I'm really disappointed. The public needs to be notified and the public needs a say." Residents weren't told. Residents don't want to lose their park. @lb_Southwark acts unlawfully.

What have @lb_southwark Council done wrong? "Build without permission. I did not know and I would have rejected it if known." Roy. Southwark Council hid building on Peckham Green from the people.
