Over 35,000 homes on London council estates are earmarked for demolition. Launching today, Estate Watch <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flondontenants.us18.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D498cacee3b00272652dd9dc84%26id%3D012fa88de8%26e%3D11064b5de0&data=02%7C01%7C%7C38e7c694e5c24012e5d308d8137374c8%7C1faf88fea9984c5b93c9210a11d9a5c2%7C0%7C0%7C637280733895505658&sdata=LxmFzZGnGfRIQI6WCQa1jOry2vmiWwO1Mj3WUYhfSMM%3D&reserved=0> is a new website seeking to ensure tenants and residents have the information, tools and resources to fight their corner.

As of 2018, councils and housing associations seeking Mayoral funding to knock down and replace their existing stock with more than 150 new homes must first seek majority resident support through a ballot. Even so, 44 such schemes across London have been exempted and the Mayor appears to be overlooking landlords conducting ballots on terms that go against his guidance<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flondontenants.us18.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D498cacee3b00272652dd9dc84%26id%3D72548f9aca%26e%3D11064b5de0&data=02%7C01%7C%7C38e7c694e5c24012e5d308d8137374c8%7C1faf88fea9984c5b93c9210a11d9a5c2%7C0%7C0%7C637280733895515656&sdata=1R1u8TAF7s6%2BTS%2BiCBFETFJlbRzvNCBtAeqL0UWUP%2F4%3D&reserved=0>. This despite the Mayor's Estate Regeneration Guidance, which was supposed to give council tenants and leaseholders a better deal. Tenants must be fully informed and have meaningful choices before we get to a ballot.

This includes research by academics at University of Leicester (UOL) and Kings College London (KCL) showing that long term uncertainty, depression and displacement were common experiences among both tenants and leaseholders undergoing demolition.

Did you feel listened to? Were you offered a meaningful alternative to demolition? Wednesday 24th June @ 10am Q&A WITH LORETTA LEES From 10am to 11am next Wednesday, we'll be hosting a live Twitter Q&A session with Loretta Lees, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Leicester and lead researcher on regeneration and gentrification. Please join us then using the hashtag #EstateWatch @LorettaCLees and @londontenants or @justspace7 Not on Twitter but got a question for Loretta? Email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with your question beforehand and we will put it to her on your behalf. How you can help It's rare for councils and housing associations to provide their tenants and residents with the full facts about demolition, so it's important that we share that information ourselves. Do you live on or near a council estate threatened with demolition or know someone who does?
