This black and white video documents a 1973 meeting of the Camden Borough Committee of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Three white men in suits are seated behind a table at the front of the hall, which is adorned with the Party’s banner. 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. One speaker delivers a speech criticising council housing practices. 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.
