Maria Ivanova, a homeowner from the Lesnes Estate, expresses the stress of potentially losing her home, highlighting the deterioration of the area as intentional on Peabody's part. Describing her experience, she notes, 'It's stressful. I'm not getting younger... I don't know what I will do when they decide to demolish the house. My family from Bulgaria has noticed how dirty this area has become, with rubbish everywhere and an unpleasant smell.'
Andrea Gilbert, a housing activist involved in the protests, emphasizes the lack of meaningful communication from Peabody, saying, 'There has been nothing apart from Peabody sending the notices. This is the only engagement we've had with them and all they want is to push people out without addressing our concerns.' Her remarks underline the frustration residents feel about the development's impact on their community.
