New Era Estate Residents Fear Rent Rises By US Investment Company

LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 02: A general view of the New Era housing estate in East London on December 2, 2014 in London, England. On Monday many of the residents marched in central London before presenting a petition to 10 Downing Street asking for a reprieve against a US investment company, Westbrook's, who plan to evict 93 families from the estate. Westbrook's are said to be planning to evict the tenants, refurbish the estate and re-let the flats at full market value leaving many of the families in limbo, unable to afford the higher rents.
