A 'Coalition for a Sustainable BXC Plan' has been formed to oppose the Brent Cross-Cricklewood regeneration project following a meeting at Brent Town Hall last week. Those attending included four local councillors, Brent Friends of the Earth, local Residents' Associations, Brent Cyclists and myself from the Brent Green Party.The coalition is united around the aim of opposing the current plans for the development by campaigning against the planning application which is likely to go to Barnet Planning Committee on Wednesday September 23rd, and campaigning for the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to call in the plans and set up a public inquiry.
Although participants in the Coalition may have differences in terms of the detail of their objections they are agreed that the present plans would cause environmental damage and be to the detriment of the local community.
A petition to the Secretary of State organised by Brent Friends of the Earth can be found here.
