| Can I just say that I am disgusted at the selective nimbysm being demonstrated in this forum. What is being proposed is a very practical and long awaited solution to a problem that has lingered for many years from lack of investment and motivation to find a resolution. Now that a real plan is in place it seems that our neighbourhood's first priority is to jump in and condemn the plans in a sort of de-facto response to anything new that is proposed within the confines of SW15. The sooner this is resolved the better, and as others have pointed out even with alternative sites being considered we will not avoid some level of work taking place in our area, probably around Barn Elms. This is a good initiative, good for the river, and good for a new Scout hut when it's all done. Let's just get on with the job and look forward to a better environment for all. And by the way, I quite like tall buildings as well... |
