Stop Social Cleansing in London!
Ensure that any social homes sold must be replaced, like for like, in the same area prior to the sale taking place.
19 MP's have signed the amendment so far - now we want you to help too.
Why is this important?
The government's proposals to force councils to sell of remaining social housing stock will, in combination with the lowering of the welfare cap to £23,000, make London an uninhabitable city for many. This will only get worse over the next five years and lead to unprecedented levels of social cleansing from the capital.
The amendment would force the government to empower London's Mayor in seeking to redress this balance, and provide additional social homes for people in one of the world's greatest cities. The Thatcherite campaign of council stock depletion would, over time, be reversed.
Though it focuses on London, social housing is an issue everywhere, and we believe this would be a start.
Stop the social cleansing of London. Your signature can be a part of that.
