Appeal from over the Brent border: Stop Kensal Canalside development - call for safe, sustainable, genuinely affordable housing at the site

 

Developers propose building thousands of flats in dense tower blocks on a former gasworks site at Ladbroke Grove. Their plans raise serious concerns about toxic contamination, limited social housing, traffic and pollution, emergency access, pressure on local services, and harm to Grade I listed Kensal Green Cemetery. We call for safe, sustainable, genuinely affordable housing at Kensal Canalside, with the infrastructure and safeguards needed to support existing and future residents. 

This is not just a local issue: its impacts will affect people across Kensington & Chelsea, Brent, Westminster, and Hammersmith & Fulham. It’s not too late for the plans to be changed. Use this link https://kensal.rbkc.uk to write to your MP and the Mayor of London today — it takes less than a minute! Urge them to reject current plans and insist on a safer, greener development with more homes that Londoners can genuinely afford.
