Description

Peter Plisner reports on the claims of residents in north London that the Department of Transport is wrecking perfectly good houses in order to prevent anyone else moving in. The homes are all on the route of the proposed Hackney Wick-M11 link road. The locals also say that some residents are being forced out of their homes via compulsory purchase orders. Includes interviews with John Ellis, Stop the M11 Link Action Group; Rupert Harwood, Friends of the Earth.
