Another London CPO scandal?

Remember this? The latest London compulsory purchase order disgrace appears to be taking place in Barnet's Grahame Park Estate, where the council has apparently admitted that the price being paid out to residents won't be enough to allow them to buy back in again, after their homes have been demolished and replaced. Residents' choices are simple. They can move away (the most likely outcome... despite school or work ties); they can increase their mortgages to cover the price hike; or enter into a shared ownership scheme. Isn't the point of regeneration to improve an area for the people who live there? Full story, here.
