MEANWHILE GARDENS UNDER THREAT OF LUXURY PENTHOUSE DEVELOPMENT

This is truly fucking diabolical! Anyone who’s ever lived over Ladbroke Grove will have a soft spot for MEANWHILE GARDENS but here’s a leaflet I picked over there yesterday:

‘STOP THE COUNCIL BUILDING LUXURY FLATS ON MEANWHILE GARDENS’

‘Kensington and Chelsea Council are spending£5.9 million on building works in Holland Park in the south of the borough, but they refuse to spend £2million to build new community premises in W10. Instead they want to erect £850,000 penthouses on this green space to pay for the new building.

But they are not short of money.They have £186 million in reserves and their Capital budget is a colossal £215 million. They can easily aford the money’

SAVE MEANWHILE GARDENS - THIS IS A BATTLE AGAINST LUXURY PENTHOUSES WE CAN AND MUST WIN!

FUCKING RIGHT ON!
