Anti-gentrification campaigners in north London have accused their local council of keeping residents in the dark over a housing regeneration project they fear will serve rich investors and “overdevelop” the area.
Built in the 1960s, the Bacton Low Rise Estate in Camden’s Gospel Oak was demolished in 2018 to make way for hundreds of new council homes with support from the local community. The rebuild has so far delivered 46 new council homes and 21 private flats, but the project stalled shortly after the first phase was completed in 2017.
