COUNCIL, housing association and private renters joined trade unions, as well as homeless and community campaigns, in Parliament Square on 25th May.
Campaigners hoped to encourage political parties and candidates to make housing a major issue in the General Election. Protestors demanded action to control rents, build council homes and scrap the Housing and Planning Act 2016.
A letter signed by film maker Ken Loach, academic and author Danny Dorling, the Bishops of Stepney, Southwark, Croydon and others, Generation Rent, Demolition Watch London, plus trade unions and many others (including Tower Hamlets Federation of Tenants and Residents Assocations), was symbolically delivered to 10 Downing Street.
