Protest against Lambeth Council housing sell-off and service cuts

Having been made aware (from the vocal protests at recent hustings) of the ongoing injustice felt by many local residents on matters of social housing eg. cuts in service, rent rises, non-functioning CCTV and outrageous bills from contractors, one campaigner has forwarded me details of two local events that people living on the housing estates in SE11 might wish to attend, which I've posted below.

In addition, I hope to publish a guest post from somebody present at the John Bull Centre hustings who wishes to provide their own take about the goings on. If anybody else is interested in making a guest post, please let me know. I don't want to publish anything directly from candidates themselves, as this blog attempts to be critical, but non-party political. However, if you're involved locally in any way (or have been present at an event of note), and want to make your voice heard, drop me an email: lurkingaboutse11@googlemail.com and we can discuss the possibility of a guest post.
