This property was used to create a temporary eastate agents (and showcase) to create awarness in the community of the hundreds of public building to be sold for development.

They take away children's play facilities, then slap an 'anti-social behaviour order' on them for playing on street corners, annoying residents, and install CCTV to spy on them. If they don't comply with restrictions on their movements, choice of friends or where they play, they are TAGGED! Our children are being criminalised, by neglect. This is happening, children are ILLEGAL!!
