“ I agree with Tim on this, London has a housing crisis and kneejerk reactions to any and all housing development - which seems to be the case here - doesn't help. It seems that any change automatically gets objected to.
We're objecting to developing this site which is a run down eyesore, objecting to redeveloping industrial space in the town center and objecting to developing a bit of farmland with no public access that sits between a hospital and the busy wood st.
I agree that Wood St/Barnet Rd is a dangerous and polluted road - I live on it and I see people speeding at 50mph down it all the time. If you really want to do something about pollution and speeding on the roads campaign about that - this small housing development will make little difference to a road that has north of 20,000 cars a day travelling on it...> http://www.howpollutedismyroad.org.uk/ ”
