The Future of Mount Pleasant in the Balance

Over the next 10 years our neighbourhood will be transformed by new developments on and around the Mount Pleasant site.  It could be a great opportunity to create high quality housing and amenities that help us to be a thriving and diverse community.  Unfortunately, the current plans for the post office site, proposed by the Royal Mail Group are for poorly designed, high density housing with little or no affordable property.  Worse still they are trying to bypass any proper consultation by referring their plans directly to Boris Johnson.  He will decide tomorrow at 4pm whether to call it in, over-riding the local councils’ planning committees.

Please take a look at these two excellent videos, created by the Mount Pleasant Forum.  If they concern you too, please voice your opposition by contacting your local council or the press!
