I used to live very close to Heygate, and saw it becoming empty. It's still empty, 3 people live there still and people from the community and some squatters friends started an allotment in the Heygate forest :)<br /><br />I'm now putting the project together. I want to do a film project over the next year (2012),and release episodes online monthly. and then edit a feature documentary. This is an independent project, guerrilla filmmaking type of thing, to give voice to people who usually don't have any... from squatters, homeless, people being evicted etc<br /><br />I saw on your blog that you and your friend filmed the building and some interviews. The one you describe of the man coming back to see his flat one last time to find it citexed sounds very interesting. <br /><br />I wonder if you still have that footage, what format you shot on and if it would be possible to view it and eventually use it in the episode about Heygate. <br /><br />If you want to check my work please see my website, you'll find my email there too. www.claudiatomaz.com<br /><br />Many thanks, <br />Claudiaclaudia tomaz https://www.blogger.com/profile/17092958647142437631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743356233605457147.post-21334929028950664862011-04-22T05:47:45.609-07:002011-04-22T05:47:45.609-07:00hey, I've been looking at your blog for a whil...hey, I've been looking at your blog for a while now and I love your stories!

Unfortunately, I can't really help you as I haven't lived on the Heygate or the UK for over two years now - I've been in New York. However, if you want to ask me some questions, send me your email or some contact info and I'll be happy to respond. <br /><br />You might also try this site: http://heygate.heroku.com/pages<br /><br />He/ She seems to be keeping up with the estate, and might even live in or around it. <br /><br /> Best of luck, <br /><br /> TimHeygateLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166657993859316289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743356233605457147.post-45560027861222397372011-01-31T12:04:44.766-08:002011-01-31T12:04:44.766-08:00hello, my name is Paris Palmer.

Unfortunately, I can't keep it up, given I've been out of the UK for a couple of years now, but I'm glad people still find value in the site. <br /><br />Yes, one of the most amazing things about the Heygate is how close it is to the wealth and power of the city - just beyond the terraces as it were. One of the things I loved about living there, being able to walk to the Thames and over the river, being able to get just about anywhere quickly. <br /><br />This reminds me - I'll have to put up an update for the New Year - second hand of course. <br /><br />T.HeygateLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166657993859316289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743356233605457147.post-84682648069441376062010-12-28T08:53:48.199-08:002010-12-28T08:53:48.199-08:00Thanks for taking the time to put all this up - it...Thanks for taking the time to put all this up - it's fascinating!<br /><br />I work on the Southbank, commuting in and out from the suburbs by train. It wasn't until I drove up on Sunday (Boxing Day = no trains) to take my kids to the Clink museum that I registered just how close these estates really are to the wealth of the City and the regeneration along the river.<br /><br />Being keen to find out more, I stumbled onto here, and have just finished reading through from start to finish.

St Paul's, London Eye etc. i think the saddest sight i saw was some lovingly tended hanging baskets outside one flat. clearly elderly residents who didn't want to move out.<br /><br />i had this gallery of the Heygate estate published on the guardian today. hope you like it.<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/gallery/2010/mar/26/elephant-castle-housing-estate-heygate-redevelopment<br /><br />JoshJoshua Surteeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836133230918430241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743356233605457147.post-35007544427760813912010-03-13T06:56:17.045-08:002010-03-13T06:56:17.045-08:00MW,

But it's been awhile, and I couldn't put you in touch with any residents. You might try the Heygate Tennant's Association, or just have a walk around - they might be receptive - or they might not. <br /><br />I know demo is supposed to start in April sometime, but I think that will only be a couple of buildings away from the main estate. If a hundred or so people still live on the estate, demo won't begin anytime soon. <br /><br />Best, <br /><br /> TimHeygateLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166657993859316289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743356233605457147.post-37093801472296308412010-03-11T17:11:13.561-08:002010-03-11T17:11:13.561-08:00Hey!

I'd potentially love the opportunity to get in contact with some current residents, if you hold any.<br /><br />If you could e-mail at tim.j.boddy@googlemail.com that would be great, so I could explain my intentions further.<br /><br />I hope you can find the time to help,<br /><br />Tim<br /><br />PS.
