Go to: www.thecreeksidevillage.co.uk/ and click on 'The Creekside Village promotion film' bottom right. Stick it through to the end, where you get to see some rich people watching the Olympics Opening Night from their living room picture window...The last pic here shows Phase One of the project...what we're getting right now...
Are these people on drugs or what?! Can't wait to go and see Swan Lake at the end of the road - and nice to see a good quality yacht in the creek instead of the usual supermarket trolley..... Seriously I am beginning to despair at what the developers want to turn Deptford into.....
ReplyDeleteit seems that only white people will be able to live there...
ReplyDeleteJust came across this and thought I'd update about the Creekside Village development as there isn't much written about it since then and now that it is nearing completion. I actually live in one of the first glass buildings which is physically divided between private flats and social housing. I am a housing association tenant and work f/t and I applied for these flats out of need - not being able to afford private housing anymore with a new addition to our family. I can safely say that the majority of tenants are black, not all white people. It is a sad case however that my neighbours are families made up of very young unemployed black males with children who create a lot of anti-social behaviour in the development making life hell for many of us. The concierge has his work cut out dealing with 50% social housing problems here. I thought this development was aspirational at first but now I hate it. It is very badly designed, the sound proofing is terrible, the vents in the ceiling let in cannabis smoke from other flats. London & Quadrant manage the development and have been utterly useless dealing with these people. No laminate flooring we were told but then both neighbours lay laminate flooring and we can hear them walking around till 5am. The worse is the cannabis smoking all day and night, loud music till 4am and both done in the presence of children and babies. I am stuck in this glass box and wished I never moved here.
