Kids of Springburn demand the council fix up Broomfield playpark! 🛝⚽️

The park has been left to rot for years, and last week, families who are Living Rent members confronted their councillors and MSP at a protest. Politicians promised to fix the park, but we need to see a concrete timeline and real action.

Come to the meeting this Saturday 13th, 2PM at Springburn Library to talk next steps, kids welcome📍

£2,400 win for Shawlands Members!

Two of our Shawlands members, Arya and Giulia, were facing eviction last year because their landlord wanted to sell the property. They’d asked him repeatedly about whether he would consider selling the property to another landlord, so that they could remain in the flat. However, the landlord refused this on the basis that he would miss out on too much money by selling it tenanted instead of empty.

Our members were willing to fight the eviction at the tribunal, something that would come at a cost to the landlord. With support from Living Rent, Arya and Giulia were successfully able to negotiate a two-month extension on their notice to leave, with a £2,400 payout for leaving the property by the agreed upon date!

Facing eviction is a horrible feeling, but we’re stronger to resist and challenge our landlords together. Join Living Rent today and be part of the fight for better housing: www.livingrent.org/join

Miles and Norliza won £1000 compensation and got their drinking water fixed when they got together with other members of Living Rent to put pressure on their landlord and letting agency. There's power in a union! 💪

Youngest Living Rent members getting organised in Springburn!

Yesterday, the Springburn group made placards in prep for the action on Friday 5 June, 3pm meeting outside Broomfield Playpark, to demand that the council reopens and upgrades the park - its been left without swings, a usable climbing frame or a safe slide for years.

A few weeks ago, it was padlocked shut with nothing to say why. Children need a place to play, so come along to hold the council to account! 🛝

We're inviting local councillors to come and hear from parents and kids about the state of the park. Email them today: https://shout.tenantact.org/act/broomfieldparkaction
