Excellent SHAPE meeting last night
🔥Agreed to support any local union campaigns against Southwark's £102M of cuts
🔥High fives about Berkeley Homes not appealing their failed development plans for Aylesham Centre
🔥Continue to build SHAPE as a coalition of local campaigns
Long term community infrastructure init!
Thanks for hosting us. It was a great meeting looking back at two years of building slowly a coalition of local groups and campaigns!
Yesterday we were happy to host @ShapeCoalition1 reflective mtg to look back on 2 years of organising locally, what they have learnt and what's important for next years
Vital to claw back time from everyday reactive politics to listen to each other and assess your local work

With all these new towers in the works at The Elephant, it's going to look like shit. Overdevelopment and just random ass piecemeal planning. 🐘🔫
