Fantastic New Community - New Work In Progress / by Gina Lundy

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, The Aylesbury, Cressingham Gardens and West Hendon.

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.

The project is ongoing, the work shown here is still in progress.  Thanks to all who have participated so far.
