• MORE than 100 social housing estates in London are under threat of demolition, indeed, on some of these estates, demolition is already well under way.
Six of the estates, comprising over 1,700 social rented homes, are in Westminster and include: Church Street Area, Cundy Street, Ebury Bridge, Hall Place, Lilestone and Lisson Green estates.
Most of the social rented homes that are under threat of demolition in London need refurbishing but do not need to be demolished.
Council land is being used to develop a much larger number of homes, many of them simply not being affordable to the existing social housing tenants.
