About 400 squatters have been living in flats on the condemned Coopers Road Estate off the Old Kent Road.
They came out in force to confront contractors sent by Southwark council to turn off the water supply in two blocks. Police were called and a stand-off ensued before the contractors went ahead with their work. The council said the move was aimed at forcing the squatters out so it could continue the regeneration of the area.
