Community Day Big Success

Saturday's annual Community Day in Little London was a huge success. Blessed with beautiful sunshine all day and a nice strong breeze (which caused havoc with the stalls), hundreds of residents turned out and had a brilliant time.

The area was transformed - a giant marquee beating out music, a dozen stalls, a booming barbecue, a giant diversity of people mingling together. It must have been quite a shock for the Council to discover that there really is a community down here. Time and time again they have spoken of the need to 'create' one. Thanks, but no thanks.

The Save Little London Campaign stall went really well and the t-shirts proved a big hit with all ages and sizes. We gave away all 125 and were delighted to see them being worn throughout the day. Loads of new people signed up to find out more about our campaign, 100s of newsletters were distributed and we made some great new friends.

A common theme emerged from our conversations - that people still had no idea what was really going to happen to the estate, despite the Council's 'consultation' exercise, and were really angry to discover that the Lovells were being sold off, and Carlton Towers demolished.

Below are some photos from the day. Let's hope they want become distant memories of what our community used to be.
