VIDEO: Rotherhithe business owner gets evicted after 20 years of service

  • Isabel Ramírez

“I refuse to give up on my community.” I went down to plushse16 to speak to owner Michael, who had just been evicted following a 17-month battle for relocation. He built his five businesses - a barbers, hairdressers, music studio, car wash and Caribbean takeaway - which have been loved by the community for over 22 years. His landlord wished to sell the land to build housing and although he knew this was coming one day, it was an abrupt end. Editing and script are all done by me. The footage was taken by myself and Carmen Gowie.
