DEVELOPERS want to knock down the iconic 1920s corner building on Prince of Wales Road and Kentish Town Road and replace it with a bulky block of flats.
Nick Russell is campaigning against plans that would harm our area.
The local Lib Dem team and I are fighting the plans which the developers have again submitted to Camden Council. The building that’s rented by Pizza Express is one of Kentish Town’s gems, and is close to other local landmarks like the Kentish Town Baths and Una House , as well as the 1929 Polytechnic building it is part of.
These plans for 14 flats are ugly and bulky and do not fit in with Kentish Town’s special character. They also fail to provide any affordable housing, and so I am backing residents fighting the plans with a petition I’ll take to the council to show the strength of feeling on the issue.
Developers should not be allowed to pull down much loved buildings, certainly when they have not asked local people what they want or tried to meet local housing needs.
