At the last meeting there were only about 400 of us there - everyone else seems to think it's all over. Listen to Kim - it's not!

The bigger the turn out the better the chance we will have of overturning this.

To those that are reading this, please come to the next residents meeting and support poor Kim. She and her collegues have put a lot into this campeign ;-)

I'll scan theresas reply for you if you want to put it up on the site. I'm sure others have written to her too. Havn't heard from Boris yet.

I've written to both asking if boris may like to come up and see the site for himself. So far, all is quiet on the western front...

So, Enfield's Labour councillors "don't need our vote"? Technically they are correct, because those most affected by the development live in Barnet, and we can't vote for them even if we wanted to.

As you said Kim, they were bussed in from Enfield, are in no way affected by it, and we can't punish them for not sticking up for the 'little people' who they profess to serve.

There should be some legislation introduced to deal with this kind of problem where a development on the border of a borough should take into account those who are most affected if they are on the other side of it, because it is unfair. Technically, we had no legal say in the matter.

Perhaps if Theresa Villers MP were to invite Boris up to look at the development site, he might realise that it's not a good idea and overturn the decision.

As for L&Q's claim that the existing buildings are an eyesore already (! - so putting up another eyesore will make no difference):

1: we don't see it as for most of the year it is hidden by a leafy tree-line which will be taken away and replaced by saplings which will take 50 years to grow(!)

2: the new one will have people living in it - poor them!

There are so many other things to say about the development, but perhaps most important is the 30% social housing bit. Who is going to invest in the other 70% if they don't know who the 30% are with regards to criminal activity etc? It may end up being 100% social housing.

I'm not saying we don't need social housing, but as I have said before, I wonder what % of those currently on the housing list in Enfield that need a place to live will be given one, and what % will be new immigrants from the newly joined EU states because, by the time the thing is built, they will be flooding over in droves - despite what H.M Govt says.

Crime wave, here we come...
