No gentrification Who does Caroline Ingham-Wright (Opinion, February 2) think she is?
Unfortunately that sort of letter is really patronising to the people who have lived and worked in Waltham Forest all of their lives.
I get sick and tired of people who have been here five minutes coming in and passing judgement.
I know there are plenty of middle class blow-ins around here who seem surprised it’s not Camden Town.
If they wanted to live there why didn’t they stump up the extra cash?
We don’t want to be gentrified thank you very much.
We are proud of this area, yes even the pound shops and betting shops.
