Plans for Earls Court and Seagrave Road

The total area to be redeveloped is 77 acres (31 hectares). It will be the biggest building site in Europe and will take 15-20 years to complete. The inhabitants of the 750 dwellings to be demolished in the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates have no idea when or how they will be re-housed. There is no schedule, no construction phasing, nothing. They are extremely worried. In addition they are sure that the size of the alternative accommodation that they might eventually be offered will be nothing like as generous as the current one, built to 70s council standards. And over £550K of EU money has just been spent upgrading the windows and bathrooms to "decent homes" standards. What a waste of OUR money! Various exhibition organisers have complained about the demolition of Earls Court 1 and 2: there is no alternative of this size, as Olympia is much smaller and will remain so, despite small works on that site.If you want to complain effectively about the size of this re-development, there is a way, by putting pressure on the candidates for election as Mayor of London in May 2012.Boris Johnson has a campaign website and he is conducting a "survey" to find out your opinions. Go to www.backboris2012.com/survey. The first question asks about local issues: "What is the most important issue you would like addressed in your local area?" and you can tick the box "Protecting green spaces". It continues: "If there was one thing you could change in your local area, what would that be?" and you can write in: "Stop the over-development of Hammersmith and Fulham in general, and protect the West Kensington/Gibbs Green estates in particular from demolition proposed in the Earls Court redevelopment". The last question asks whether you would "definitely" or "probably" vote for Boris or whether you would "definitely/probably" vote for Ken. You should choose "Probably Ken" and give him a fright... Please don't fill in any other questions as it detracts from your message. You are in the SW6 postcodes where he expects to get rock solid Conservative support. Disillusion him!
