This is an important point. Without the provision of amenities while it is under construction, building the Albany Riverside site would mean socialising the costs and privatising the benefits.
Watermans must remain open until the new site is ready.
Tomorrow Watermans Art Centre will close - and eventually this riverside community treasure will be lost to yet more ugly luxury flats for private ownership! Bye bye Community asset. Hello
Albany Riverside. #saveourwatermans
Earlier today, residents took time out of their schedules to hold a protest outside @WatermansArts
We are desperately seeking answers from both HAT and the council leadership to see if a viable proposal can be brought forwards that will save the centre.
Great to see Labour announce a 5 point plan to breathe life into Britain’s high streets.
We now need to see the same commitment from @Hounslow_Labour by protecting entertainment venues like the Watermans. CC: @RuthCadbury
