Housing Issue at Fenchurch Street

The Government has been selling houses in the suburb of Glen Innes. 

There were many protesters who were out in Fenchurch Street this morning.  

The Police and TV News crew from Channel 1 and 3 were there too.  

So many families have been affected and I feel very sad for them.  

They have been promised an apartment to live in when they 

have to leave their houses.
