I spent about 2 years regularly cutting across the Aylesbury Estate. I've always felt that the whole lot needs to be knocked the fuck down and properly rebuilt with some decent quality sustainable housing and better allocation and maintenance of public space. But, and this is an important condition, whatever is put in that space still needs to be appropriate social housing for the people and communities that live there.
I hope the occupation manages to focus the public perception on that.
Of course, that's just my opinion. Are the buildings themselves something that local residents generally want to see preseved?
