Lambeth council reverses demolition of two 1960s London estates after campaign

A change in Lambeth council leadership has led to the reversal of plans to demolish the Cressingham Gardens and Central Hill estates, ending a decade-long campaign by residents. The decision preserves the low-density 1960s developments, which are architecturally significant and popular with residents. This marks a policy shift under the new council leadership, though the long-term funding and maintenance implications remain uncertain.
