We Are England Fighting For Our Homes: What Happened Next ( Monday 16 January 2023)
Today Monday 16 January 2023, there is a new episode of We Are England.
Fighting For Our Homes: What Happened Next When residents of a Leeds housing estate begin to lose their privately rented homes that have existed since the 1950s, the community rallies together to prevent a breakdown of the community. The fight residents put up is emblematic of the solidarity found in working-class neighbourhoods and a microcosm of the broader gentrification problems facing the country.
In the weeks leading up to their eviction, many estate residents are followed as they beg hard for more time and for their community to remain intact. We catch up with the estate’s inmates a year later to see how they’ve adjusted to their new surroundings.
