Focus E5 Mothers Party Against Eviction

East Thames Housing Assn, Stratford, London. Fri 17 Jan 2014

 

 
 The mothers and their supporters met on a street corner close to East Thames Housing

 They want to be rehoused locally - not in Hastings or Birmingham which the council have suggested to some

 'Caution Social Cleansing.. IN Progress!!' Most new homes in Newham are for the wealthy

East Thames claims to be an 'Affordable homes provider' but says it can't provide them to rehouse these mothers

 who are making their way into their Foyer

 

 along with some supporters

 and a local press photographer who wants a group photograph

 which I find very boring, but take one anyway, thrihg to find a little more life in it

 
 
Then the mothers occupy the East Thames show flat - two rooms, a lunge and kitchen

They go into the kitchen 

which is quite large, but soon very crowded 

and they put up some decorations  

'Labou Council Hear Us Say Focus Mums..'  

'Don't Make our Babies Home-less Keep us in London' 

 

And they tie up the flags and start releasing streamers
