The enclosed blocks have mostly been vacated ahead of their demolition, but they stillhouse about 30 tenants and leaseholders, as well as the squatters.

Aysen Dennis, 56, a housing campaigner who has lived on the estate for 22 years,said: "It makes it really difficult for people to get to their homes.

"We’ve already had tenants come to us to complain and we’re in the process of makinga legal challenge.

"They are trying to stop the protesters basically, but other tenants are paying for it."

The council says the fence was erected for the safety of the remaining residents, whoare surrounded by hundreds of empty flats.

But one told the Standard that they and their neighbours are all unhappy about beingpenned in with only one exit.

Cllr Mark Williams, cabinet member for regeneration, planning and transport, said:"The fence was installed as a direct response to the remaining few residents whoexpressed concerns about security on the site and anti-social behaviour from peoplewho aren’t residents.

"Putting up the fence follows advice from the police, fire brigade and our officers whohad similar experiences with other largely empty housing blocks."

Last month, six people were arrested after police and firefighters were called in duringan eviction of protesters, who were refusing to leave two occupied blocks.

The campaigners are still on the estate after they simply moved to another vacantblock. Southwark has been forced to return to the courts to secure further possessionorders.

The estate became famous for hosting Tony Blair's first speech as prime minster in1997 and for featuring in a controversial Channel 4 ident, which residents complainedleft a negative impression.

It looks like occupied Palestine.

Bunch of criminals this lot. Labours contribution to Britain. Kick them out and buildbetter homes for people who are willing to contribute positively to society.

From what I have seen and heard of the Aylesbury estate they should leave the fenceup to protect the public from the residents.Can think if many more council estates inLondon that would benifit from a wall around it,Peckham,Brixton,etc etc,

If the council wants to stop the protesters all they have to do is call off the demolitionand think again. Why on Earth do people keep on voting for councillors who approvethis stuff? Labour, Tories and LIb Dems are all as bad as eachother when it comes toplanning and housing issues.

There are plenty of alternatives: Greens, TUSC, independents.

Stop voting for more of the same!

People vote because they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. They have fallenin love with their slave masters.

"call off the demolition". Don't be stup¡d! That place is a shít hole, a ghetto.That's the best thing they could do. If you can't afford to live in London, youshould be moved to one of the mínority hotspots outside the capital. LikeBradford or Derby rd in Southampton. Or maybe back to Afríca and Pakístan?Time to get rid of these scroungíng lowlífes.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist.Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

good lets hope they dont bring you back

has Simon Hughes MP for Southwark been getting advice from Benjamin Netanyahu?what next ? cut off their water? enforce a local Apartheid? beat the undesirables out?

Just put them on non-seaworthy boats and send them back home to Africa,Middle East, South Asian...

It was actually the Labour council's decision. It's also Harriet Harman'sconstituency - she's also Labour if you weren't aware

Its the Southark GAZA.

That's what happens when you import people from the third world. Thank youLabour.
