Not necessarily so
CR2 MAY destroy the buildings you listed – or it may not.
Provided a reasoned objection is lodged well in advance, it is entirely possible to have the buildings & the railway – which we certainly need.

A masterly critique from the East End Preservation Society that cannot be easily ignored and deserves to be carefully studied by the planning authorities. Many thanks to everyone involved.

I would like to bring to everyone’s attention the Crossrail 2 proposal for The Angel, Islington. Recently it has come to light that Crossrail 2 are going to destroy the buildings between Pentonville Road & White Lion Street. This includes 18th & 19th century buildings of real historic significance. The idea appears to be to wipe-out our cultural & historic areas all over London!
Can we stand together on this one too?

Meeting 5.30pm 13th January Islington Town Hall.

Consultation: http://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/crossrail-2-safeguarding-directions.

Thanks folks!

And we of The Westminster Society (I’m on the executive committee) appreciate its fine attention to conservation principles that should apply everywhere in London. Thank you, and good luck!

The image ‘Sunrise Over Shoreditch’ also says it all. Will be joining you and supporting.

all over the world.
I’m forwarding this to family who were brought
up here so they can see and support objections to
this monster.

And major developments take a long time to untangle and determine. Mostly you have to ensure you DO get in the mistakes and errors and etc. that the planning officer can use to ask applicants for more detail, better info, corrections. Comments get taken right up to planning committee time but once decisions are taken and recommendations to the planning committee printed in agendas they tend not to carry much weight.

These upended ice-cube trays are making me dizzy. Provokes ground level disorientation…to me.
