It's Flaming June!...

...and the flamin' struggle must go on! - So say the residents of Cairns Street...

As it’s the first Saturday in the month, the residents of Cairns Street at the Princes Park end of the Granby Triangle are holding their colourful street market today. Their lively and imaginative campaign against the threatened arrival of the bulldozers is continuing, since the new Labour administration are continuing with the last council's plans to demolish the whole area, despite professional advice that it would be cheaper to refurbish these properties.

These exact words were said about the Anfield clearence,you're fighting a losing battle.
Count the number of people that have moved out and this will give you an idea whether its worth continuing the battle,from what I can see in that one street many have moved.

It is a bit like dominoes - as soon as someone moves out, the security company moves in to 'make it safe', which usually means that the house next door becomes leaky... or unsafe... or both, so eventually they too move out... and so it goes on...

But so far, Cairns Street have shown a great sense of solidarity and have sent the security company packing...
