10:31Now PlayingIn the run up to the 2015 general election, a war is going on for the right to live in London. Rapid gentrification – praised as "regeneration" by local councils and property developers, derided as "social cleansing" by critics – is breaking up established communities. In some cases, families who've lived in London for generations are left homeless; in others, they are forced to move across the city or out of it completely. Meanwhile, the real estate opportunities are making lots of people – many of whom do not actually live in London – very rich.
Daisy sets out to figure out what happens to Council estate land once it’s demolished. Out of 1200 homes on the Heygate Estate, only 75 council homes now remain on that land. Daisy finds out what it feels like to be living everyday with the prospect of your community being demolished looming over your head and ordinary people chaining their necks to fences to protect their homes.
