Re: Bell Green Retail & Employment Plan Consultation

There was an extremely well attended Sydenham Society meeting with an additional session on this issue last night.

Re: Say 'No' to further retail at Bell Green

I am not all that bothered by the gasometers remaining, but i object to the additional pollution (air, noise and litter) another supermarket will bring.
