Support our crowdfunding campaign for legal advice to challenge Lambeth Council's decision to allow Hondo to build a 20-storey tower in the heart of #Brixton
We're crowdfunding for legal advice on challenging Lambeth Council's decision to allow Hondo to build a 20-storey speculative office block in central #Brixton. It'd be great if you felt able to chip in a fiver? The tower can still be stopped! #NoHondoTower https://t.co/q1fQsX39GF
We have launched a crowdfunding campaign to challenge Lambeth Council's approval of Hondo's unwanted unneeded 20-storey office block in central #Brixton at https://t.co/XIx3TqW8SX #NoHondoTower@CrowdJustice
"It can be very hard to get past the PR schpiel when it comes to big money, but we have the unique opportunity to see how they really behave at ground level. More and more we are seeing Hondo attaching their name to new alcohol license applications" #NoHondoTower#FightTheTower
"The report does not mention the recent decision of the council’s planning committee to approve a major development on Pope’s Road & Brixton Station Road incl. a 20-storey tower that council officers admit is not in line with the 2015 Lambeth Local Plan" https://t.co/Am3tACMX2O
The 3 Lambeth councillors who voted AGAINST the tower are @BeccaThacka of Herne Hill (Dulwich & West Norwood constituency), @BenKind of Tulse Hill (Streatham constituency) & @CllrJSimpson of Prince's (Vauxhall constituency) #NoHondoTower
The 4 Lambeth councillors who voted FOR the tower are @ClairWilcox1 of Streatham South & @MoSeeds of Streatham Wells (both of Streatham constituency) & @Jess_Leigh of Ferndale & @TimWindle of Larkhall (both of Vauxhall constituency) #NoHondoTower
Unused office space could cost London businesses billions post-Covid & MP @HelenHayes_ says any promise that Hondo's planned 20-storey tower would not be converted to luxury residential “is unlikely to be worth the paper it is written on” #NoHondoTower#Brixton#FightTheTower
"I was wary of Hondo. As I saw it, they weren’t the owners. They were the custodians of a vital neighbourhood asset. I wanted to see how they discharged that duty before I considered getting cosy with them. I think it was the right call" writes @jayrayner1 https://t.co/C71u51eYIo
Dubious tactics have been used to garner public support for Adjaye Associates’ Brixton office tower – not the first time the practice has benefited from such methods. Read my news catch-up https://t.co/CliV4kf3k6
@BBCRadioLondon@EddieNestorMBE The petition against the tower has over 7,800 signatures & there's huge community opposition to it. This development would give far too much power to a single foreign-backed landlord who already owns much of #Brixton. Updates at #NoHondoTower
Sad news that Lambeth council has ignored literally thousands of objections from the public.
Texan billionaire and 'DJ' Taylor McWilliams of 'Housekeeping' and 'Hondo Enterprises' has won his battle to build a giant tower in the middle of Brixton.
Sad news.
Money talks.
"An artist who was evicted from Brixton Market after Hondo purchased the land spoke out against the plans, saying the company's contribution to #Brixton has seen it "hike up rents, destroy people's lifelong livelihoods & drive them out" #NoHondoTower https://t.co/dIAOiVtAkF
As we have seen with this Hondo tower planning application and the @savecentralhill planning application a few weeks ago, the planning process is horribly skewed to developers and away from residents. We need reform but not Tory planning reform. @save_nour@SaveCressingham
