DENOUNCE THIS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUS
AND PREVENT OUR EVICTION!
We have been lobbying Michael Gove, the Secretary of
State, for a public inquiry into a controversial office development in
Waterloo, London. As part of its planning application, the land-owner promised that organisations renting part of the site could stay until the development started. Now, they are effectively being evicted before Christmas, including those who have played no active part in the campaign such as the children’s charity Child Rights International Network. The Foundation has admitted that this is punishment for the wider community’s campaign.

MORE ABOUT SAVE WATERLOO PARADISE
Waterloo can be a hectic place: it has the UK’s largest station with 100 million commuters a year Europe’s largest arts centre with 30 million visitors a year, the HQ for Europe’s largest company, one of the UK’s major hospitals… and, amidst this dense bustle, Archbishop’s Park, a quiet green paradise.
But the bulldozers are coming! And Lambeth Council and the Mayor of London are waving them on contrary to their warm words and London plan policy. Now this paradise is threatened by the largest single office proposal ever seen in Lambeth – five huge tower blocks including 1.5 million square feet of offices and a tower of swanky flats (with the bare, statutory minimum of affordable housing), looming over Archbishop’s Park, blocking out the sky and dwarfing its magnificent trees.
