And business has been better for the likes of Terry since it's been there, that's bloody obvious.

These guys have the interests of Deptford at heart as much as Rebecca and now that the conflict has been explained it will just be a question of them working out which alternative venue to move onto. Some of the posts here seem to think the social centre team has done this deliberately, slipping into the job centre while the security was lax as the transfer to the new use was underway. What do you take these guys for. That would have been just the type of shitty underhand piece of class treachery we are all fighting against.

She is an inspirational person who really cares about the place she lives and who has single-handedly tried to put something back into the community (imagine what would happen if more of us took her lead?). She works her backside off and is full of passion. I am extremely upset and disgusted to read what people have written here. The Deptford Project is not the only project she has pulled off for the community - trying to bring people, interest, investment and attention to a previously neglected part of London. And none of it to line her own pockets - she works on a voluntary basis and then does other work on top of this to try and support her family. I doubt she gets more than about 4 hours sleep a night after all she does. People like Rebecca should be celebrated. It's time to stop focussing on demonising one person here and look at the bigger picture. She is on the side of Deptford. We could do with a few more Rebeccas in this country. And for those of you with an embarassing chip on your shoulder about so-called 'class'... maybe you should talk to her... you'll notice from her manner that she is not 'middle-class', just an ordinary down-to-earth Londoner who cares about where she lives. And I, for one, am not hiding behind an 'anonymous' label... Chin up Rebecca and well done for trying to do something in this often obstructive and negative country of ours.Catherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-75808075432739307012011-03-23T22:38:55.817+00:002011-03-23T22:38:55.817+00:00Can someone from the Social Centre explain why the...Can someone from the Social Centre explain why they decided to take over - and effectively put an end to - a venue that was going to be put to positive use for the benefit of Deptford, rather than occupying a empty building doing nothing. Having both the new creative centre which Rebecca had done so much to set up - and the Social Centre- seems a no brainer. There are loads of empty premises all up the high street that the Social Centre could have occupied. Perhaps the best way forward is for Deptford to decide. Lets set up a vote - Sue you did this very well in respect of the betting shops - and ask the following.
