LETTER: Kilburn Square Housing: Brent Labour vs Barnet Labour…

Dear Editor,

  

Remember Alice through the Looking Glass…? Here’s an Open Question to the Brent Housing team, as they press on to an imminent Planning Application with a scheme the local community strongly believes is still too big…

 

PRE-ELECTION

https://www.times-series.co.uk/news/19937298.residents-lose-latest-fight-save-east-finchley-green-spaces/

  • Conservative Barnet council wants to build houses on green space
  • Labour opposition backs residents’ objections

 

POST-ELECTION 

https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/east-finchley-green-space-saved-from-development-9241434

  • Labour gains control
  • The scheme is cut back to preserve the green space

 

IF BARNET LABOUR CAN DO THIS… WHY CAN’T BRENT LABOUR DROP BLOCK C-D ON KILBURN SQUARE? 

 

Feel free to comment on here!

Why are brent labour coucillors so determined to undermine the quality of life of their existing tenants in ks less space no defined extra health social educational amenities more concrete and increased floodrisk

In response to the above two comments: Because the Brent Labour Council is lead by a Councillor who tried to join the Lib Dems for position some years ago, and he's supported by many other councillors whose politics are more aligned to the Tories and their backers than a Socialist Labour Party for the people.
