They address a small public audience on a range of local political issues, with a particular focus on housing policy and the role of the local council.

A wider public discussion follows, in which attendees raise concerns about rent increases, the need to apply pressure on Labour-controlled councils, pension-related struggles, and the recent evictions on Guilden Road.
