Milford Towers is a social housing estate in Lewisham, London, that is described by its residents as "hell". Slated for demolition, the residents accuse the council of ignoring them and deliberately running it into the ground. There are frequent leaks, mould infestations, break ins, fires, people being stabbed, and perpetually broken lifts. The Guardian's Adam Sich and Christopher Cherry spent a few days there as residents announced enough is enough, and united to challenge the council to finally start treating them as people.
