Benefit Concert To support The Fight Against The Supersized Development On The Goldhawk Industrial Estate

People power is well and truly alive and kicking as demonstrated by the residents’ campaign to stop the over development of the Goldhawk Industrial Estate at the top of Brackenbury Road, Hammersmith.

Readers will recall how the Conservative councillors used their block vote to push the development through against all evidence. They were actually caught out presenting information collected from the developer as objective, independent information. My Labour colleagues and I objected and the Secretary of State halted the planning process by calling it in.

Residents have now hired a planning barrister and are preparing to give evidence at the independent inquiry. You can support their campaign by coming to this concert. Here are details taken from their flyer:

"BENEFIT CONCERT FOR GOLDHAWK: DON’T MISS THIS AMAZING EVENT!
