Dozens of people are protesting outside the old Biscuit Mill Shopping Centre this afternoon against the eviction of 28 families from Woodstock.

The families who live in Bromwell Street have been joined by civil society group "reclaim the city" and other activists in a demonstration against the proposed development of the area.

The families have more than a week left to remain in their homes according to an eviction notice from private property developers who have bought the properties.


Dozens of locals have joined the families in their protest to the Old Biscuit Mill, a high-end retail development that has already invested in the area.
