Three Estates Regeneration - The Next Step?

There is a lot of concern locally regarding the proposed "regeneration" of the three estates (Hawkseley, Primrose, and Pool Farm).
The goalposts appear to have been moved, and now the area intended for demolition etc has been extended quite a bit from what was previously publicised!

Thers are 3 "consultation sessions" taking place this week, where the residents have an opportunity to express their opinions on the draft Planning Framework.

Wednesday 9th September - Common Room, Campion and Saffron Houses.
Thursday 10th September - Greaves Hall, Primrose Hill.
Friday 11th September - Hawkesley Community Centre.

All open from 1500 to 2000.

All residents affected should do their best to attend at least one session.
Your voice won't be heard if you're not there to 'exercise' it!
