The projects explores the current housing crisis in London from the perspective of those residents in areas undergoing significant re-development or total demolition - Sweets Way, Carpenter's Road, Aylesbury, Cressingham Gardens and West Hendon. The title of the work is taken from an advertising by Developers in Stratford E15 in 2012 and is done so to highlight the dis-regard often shown for existing communities within regeneration zones. This piece shows some of the images from the project documenting the existing housing and features an edited interview with a resident and campaigner from West Hendon. The project is ongoing, do get in contact if you would like to contribute.

The title of the work is taken from an advertising hoarding used by developers in Stratford, bordering the Olympic site, in 2012. It is used in this context to question what is happening to the existing community in those areas undergoing re-generation/re-development.
This piece shows some of the images documenting the existing housing, text from developer advertising and features an edited interview with a resident and campaigner from West Hendon.
