What's happening in Kensington?

Have used the cartoons on this newsletter before. But have changed the text and added a new cartoon. This newsletter will be going into the Kensington Fairfield ward.
At this present moment the Liverpool City Council working in so called partnership with the £62m New Deal for Communities administrators, who are in turn working with Riverside Housing and their subsidiary Community 7 and loads of other small corrupt agencies are in the process of trying to expunge the ward and the NDC zone of two thirds of the tenants. These RSL tenants will be regetoised in areas not designated for gentrification. A couple of days ago we, Kai Anderson and myself, had a meeting with other tenants in the ward and decided to start an organisation called Tenants Action Group (TAG). We nominated a chair, vice chair and treasurer.
The NDC board has ten community members on it and nine of them are homeowners. In fact all the structures which have been set up with the total influence of middle class city council officers, corrupt middle class consultants and the corrupt housing associations within the NDC area and within the Kensington Fairfield ward have from the onset of the NDC initiatives and other regeneration initiative in the ward been deliberately designed in such a way as to exclude tenants.
Our main aim is to try and get the tenants, who are at this moment in a majority within the NDC zone and within the ward, to come together and fight against any injustices, which may be perpetrated against them by the NDC board and the Housing Associations Riverside and Community 7. In the near future we will be posting leaflets urging all the tenants with the ward and the NDC area to attend a TAG meeting so that we can tell them what is happening. Any support .i.e. tenant speakers from other areas , would be gratefully accepted.
