D.C. Resists is a private renters campaign group in Herne Hill. Our whole estate is owned by a single freeholder, with the same company Manaquel being the landlord to most of the residents.


Our day of action (squeezed into 2 hours) is happening this Saturday 2nd May from 12 midday until 2pm on Dorchester Court, Herne Hill SE24 9QX. We will have banners for a press photo opportunity which will then be on permanent display from residents' balconies.


We are protesting our landlord/freeholder Manaquel allowing the buildings to fall into disrepair while pushing massive rent hikes for tenants by as much as 60% in a single year. Anybody who questions these rises finds when their AST contract expires that the landlord is unwilling to renew and the tenant faces eviction.


We are saying "enough!"


We are expecting housing activists from across London to attend the protest in support of our struggle for decent affordable homes free of victimisation.


We ask those willing to stand with us to come and show their support. Nearest train stop is Herne Hill or the 68, 468, 42 and P4 buses all come even closer. Bring your banners and your voices. Hope to see you there.


Thanks.

This is frankly disgusting, and it seems that Southwark and Lambeth councils are all too happy and pally with landlords and developers, resulting in a distressingly negative impact on those on low incomes in London.


I hope you manage to attract some media attention and have your voices heard.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
