A decision on the temporary space for Elephant & Castle traders in Castle Square has been DEFERRED to allow new information on rent levels paid by existing shopping centre tenants to be gathered
Great turnout for the protest outside Southwark HQ on Tooley Street. Many great speeches in support of the elephant and castle shopping centre traders.
Noisy and vibrant turnout here outside @lb_southwark even on a cold December night were here to say Stop The Elephant Development // Social Housing Not Cleansing 🐘🐘🐘
Yesterday @SadiqKhan defied objections from all 4 local Labour parties (@BOSLabour @BOBALabour @FaradayLabour @NWalworthLabour) and hammered the final nail in the coffin of Elephant & Castle's long-standing low-income community.
Open letter in support of a YES vote for the current HE ballot over low pay and the gender wage gap being sent out to @ucu and @unisontweets members - sign here to show your support too! docs.google.com/forms/d/1gYdju…
In a strange and at this point mostly just amusing turn of events, I've been no platformed by @UAL (uninvited from speaking at graduation)
Wow we smashed 1000 signatures in 48 hours. Let's double it! Support for our community campaign is flooding in from our local area, across London + beyond 🐘👍❤ So much love for the Elephant! Please share + help us send a clear message to @SadiqKhan change.org/p/sadiq-khan-s…
Video of some of the speeches at the @UpTheElephant_ protest in Tooley Street last night now added to article on E&C planning decision @LatinElephant @mariaadderley @35percent_EAN london-se1.co.uk/news/view/9660
And a statement from our campaign partner @LatinElephant
Statement to @SadiqKhan signed last night by 7 @UKLabour Councillors (including Camberwell & Peckham) in wards around #elephantandcastle, “…as a Labour Mayor of London he must insist on changes which can fix these significant moral and policy failings.” @se1 @UpTheElephant_

Delancey just gained committee approval of their development plans for Elephant & Castle by 4 votes to 3. Some councillors voting on conditions of more conditions that may never transpire. Delancey, we heard on exit, have gone for celebratory drinks, the community left weeping
We're utterly disappointed with Southwark Council's vote held last night betraying the Latinx & local community of #ElephantandCastle. But the fight is not over, our protest is only changing address. Next stop: GLA @SadiqKhan. #FightGentrification

@jackbuck123 @LatinElephant @UpTheElephant_ @rebeccalury @paulwfleming @karleastham @MerrillDarren @cllrmseaton @helendennis80 @35percent_EAN This is my letter to Sadiq but yes very happy to meet you all 👍🏾
Following the disappointing #ElephantDevelopment decision we unanimously passed a motion demanding @SadiqKhan step up & use his power to improve the plan for local people. We also express solidarity with the @SouthwarkLabour cllrs who stood up, spoke out and opposed the plans.
If it wasn't because of a united and strong campaign we would not have gained some concessions to this application. #MigrantEconomies #MigrantCities #LatinLondon @LatinElephant
