Best ever vote for People Before Profit

6873 votes from the people of Greenwich and Lewisham. 5.2% beating UKIP, BNP and NF and saving our deposit of £1000.

5th May 2012

Full analysis of the election results from 3rd May will be published shortly, giving the votes cast for each candidate in each individual ward. We will be studying these closely to see where our latent support lies. We delivered 50,000 election addresses, targetting 6 wards for close to every household. We also gave out election addresses at stations and schools.

Thank you to all who helped in the election campaign and to all those who voted to put People Before Profit.

Harts Lane Community Studios event

We occupied this decrepit garage

on March 10th because it had been empty for years and the council withdrew it from the auction on 13th February along with the houses we had occupied.

We set about making it usable and celebrated on 21st April with an art exhibition and live bands playing on the roof.

Harts Lane opening party Over a hundred people came to the event and enjoyed a warm afternoon listening to Black Dove, Alex & Richard, Sunbeam and Strawberry Thieves Choir.

The murals outside are by Andrew Clarke and Boudicca and work inside was exhibited by Mark Anthony Brown, Tisna Westerhof and Katie Surridge, who curated the event - titled Heaven Baby.

Katie also went skipping for free food that would otherwise have been thrown away by Covent Garden wholesale market traders, and rustled up 3 excellent curries and dahls.

The event was such as success that we'd like to offer the venue to any group supportive of People Before Profit's aims who can organise an event and publicise it. NO CHARGE - IT'S THE PEOPLE'S VENUE.
