Stop the Blocks Community Action Group

Hi @PlanningShit would you consider the planning permission granted by Lambeth Planning Committee for this tower block next to the Grand Designs Grade II listed Water Tower for your annual awards?

Local residents are looking to us to challenge @Lambeths_Council's plans to impose road closures on @LB_Southwark's residents. We weren't involved in the design, yet our local council has handed responsibilty to a neighbouring borough none of us voted for.
