4 ISSUE 104 / 2017 NEWS LONDON NEWS UN INTERVENES TO SAVE LATIN VILLAGE! In the most recent fight between developers and campaigners, the UN has had to intervene to protect Pueblito Paisa market or better known to Londoners as Latin Village. The market that compromises of 61 units, has been on the 'regeneration' radar for almost a decade. Latin American immigrants who run the market have fought numerous battles to save Pueblito Paisa from being replaced with 196 new homes and a shopping centre. Campaigners for the indoor market, are finding it increasingly difficult to fight against this unwelcome restoration of Latin Village. Grainger PLC, the company behind the renovation has reportedly offered stallholders a "generous package of support". Surya Deva, chair of the UN's Working Group on Business & Human Rights, spoke of the greater impact gentrification will potentially have on the global community on Channel 4, "I think this is an issue which is not merely about developed cities – it is an issue which has global implications [over] the displacement of people from their properties and land." Despite this, the Compulsory Purchase Orders issued by Haringey council last year still stands, as does the planned demolition. Now all that's left for the owners is to wait with baited breath for the UN's report on the on-going dispute, which will contain their recommendations for the future of Pueblito Paisa
