Residents in legal fight to halt demolition of Clockwork Orange estate

Climate concerns raised over redevelopment of 1960s Brutalist estate in south-east London

A legal challenge has been launched in an effort to halt the demolition of a 1960s Brutalist estate in south-east London that featured in Stanley Kubrick’s dystopian film A Clockwork Orange.

The challenge against Bexley council and Peabody housing association, which will be carrying out the redevelopment, has been launched by the Lesnes estate resident Adam Turk.
