Hampden Lodge Flats Demonstration

We had a fantastic turnout at Hampden Lodge this morning for a demonstration against the proposed planning application for 58 flats on the site; over 130 local residents joined the whole Collier Row & Mawneys Residents Association team in showing their objection to the proposals.

The closing date has now passed to formally object to the scheme, however, we are still collecting letters and e-mails of residents keen to join the campaign to stop this plan. Over 900 people signed a petition and hundreds of other residents sent e-mails and letters.

We now have to wait for the plans to come before a planning committee, in either late June or early July, just as soon as we know the date of the meeting, we will let you all know, so as many people as possible can turn out and show how strongly they feel.
