The first wave of resistance was met with success today when demolition workers were repelled by the occupiers of 34 Broadway Market.
In the early hours workers came to begin the process of knocking down the building in preperation for building flats - one bedroom apartments in this area can expect to go for £150,000.
This process all began with the sellling of this property at auction by Hackney council. Since the sell off's began gentrification has come very quickly to the area, with a host of restaurants and upmarket dellicatessens.
From the offset local people from the community have being showing their support for the effort. Despite this more hands are required in order to maintain the occupation for longer.
