Kew Bridge Eco Village Planning Meeting Tonight
Planning Meeting about Kew Bridge Eco Village.
The next Planning Meeting to decide the fate of the Eco Village’s land at Kew Bridge takes place tonight at 7.30pm at Hounslow Civic Centre.
The Eco Village urges people to support their cause:
“We need your help to oppose the monstrous development St Georges want to build! Since September, St Georges have gotten cocky and reduced the amount of affordable housing from 26% to 13%!! When the ‘London Plan’ seeks a 50% minimum of social housing. This is not acceptable when so many people are seeking affordable homes in Brentford and Hounslow.
A big presence of local people and supporters will put pressure on the council to refuse this ridiculous application!!
So please come down to Hounslow Civic Centre on Wednesday 17th February at 7.30pm!! Or meet at the Eco Village at 6pm and walk with us!”

The Fog of Games: Free talk at the LSE
In The Fog of Games, the first casualty is the truth. The Olympics are brief and transitory television events that disguise and justify mega projects of vast urban restructuring that permanently distort our cities for the benefit of a few business interests. Common features of such projects are unprecedented land grabs, the peddling of myths of ‘regeneration’ and ‘legacy’ benefits, the sweeping away of democratic structures and planning restraints, the transfer of public money into private hands, and ‘information management’ to hide truths and silence critics.
Mark Saunders from Spectacle will be showing clips of Spectacle’s ongoing Olympic Project The Fog of Games: Legacy, Land Grabs and Liberty.
Also Reporting the London Olympics Martin Slavin from Games Monitor website will discuss the gap between the media image of the Olympics and the historical impact they have had on communities.
This free event will take place at The London School of Economics on Thursday 28th May at 7pm. Everyone is welcome.
