On Oct 24th, Newham Council and University of College London agreed to join forces in destroying the Carpenters Estate. UCL gets a new campus and Newham Council makes money at the expense of the residents. Once again, the Council shows that is not on the side of the local community. The fight is not over by any means. Both residents and lecturers and students at UCL are continuing the fight. They are holding an open meeting at UCL on October 31st at 6 Pm in the AV lecture Theatre at the Main Campus in Bloomsbury.
