Stop West Ham ground being turned into unaffordable flats
Build some useful services for the people of Upton Park in the old West Ham ground instead of more unaffordable housing.
Why is this important?
The old West Ham ground is set to become 800 luxury flats. We are being told that they will be affordable but "affordable" housing never actually is in anyone's budget but the rich. Upton Park is already hugely overcrowded with services pushed to breaking point. The West Ham site being reinvented is a great chance for the council to build more services for local people and take some pressure off of existing ones. One measly community centre being built on the site is not good enough when 800 more families will be moving in to the site.
How it will be delivered
In writing to local councillor Forhad Hussein
