  • Stella Creasy MP on the gentrification of Walthamstow
    Subscribe to the Guardian HERE: bitly.com/UvkFpD
    Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, takes us on a tour of her north-east London constituency and shows us how gentrification is affecting the local community. One of the most culturally diverse parts of London, Walthamstow has seen a slow trickle of middle-class newcomers and a somewhat sharper rise in house prices

    I'm pretty sure she's the definition of a 'gentrifier.' Am I wrong?

    Hoe street was full of estate agents before Stella Creasy ever thought of gentrification.

      @@Zeczam you sound like one of those people from a brough in London that has some kind or right over it, like it owes you. People travel in and out of the borough for decades.. In fact humans migrated around this world for hundreds of years.
      If you call a place your home then your a local.

    " Hoe street is dominated by estate agents and letting agents" And YOUR exactly the sort of person they cater for Stella! What part of Walthamstow are you from? MP's claim for their houses/flats and WE pick up the bill. Nice work if you can get it.Did you know that there are around 650 MPs in the house of commons and over 200 of them are landlords.The words POT and KETTLE come to mind.The film is just a bit of PR guff. Just a few soundbites and buzzwords about community. We all know that property prices are way too high and there is a housing crises.The last labour government failed to adress the problem started by Maggie and now this government is carrying on much the same.If your happy with the way things are in your part of the country then just carry on voting for the same.If not,THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

    Yes - the rental prices are high in Walthamstow, but they are just as high everywhere else. London town is full of estate agents and landlords ripping people off. A lot of Londoners are spending one third or two thirds of their monthly salaries on rent.

    Good luck to Ms Creasy in her role as advocate for Walthamstow, although her view here is more than a little 'village-centric', so to speak. I'm not sure if it applies to the badlands of Higham Hill or to the other suburbs of Warsaw and Vilnius to be found on her constituency's fringes. I've been doing my best,to lower the tone in and around some of the key tourist destinations, but it's an uphill struggle. Anyway, to business: I haven't eaten for three days, so do you have any spare change?
