Nice job - having J Humphrys on board should be a big boost to the campaign. And he writes sense. We all live in this area and appreciate its attributes and work to improve on the drawbacks. The Council seems obsessed with cramming in more dwellings into this poor and crowded place.BUT more, thicker, faster, denser, higher is not always better. This area is saturated with people, either who live her, come and work here, come and shop here, park and commute here, booze and schmooz here... we offer the whole lot but those of us who inhabit the area of Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith, need some respite from work, noise, people, travel, chatter, and want not to feel poison rise in our throats on opening our front doors due to what has been thrust upon us in our locality and because we feel overwhelmed or invaded. We actually prefer to get along with neighbours, be they businesses, markets, restaurants, clubs, bars, schools or whatever. It is a matter of scale, and people should not have to accept change for its own sake as being BETTER without due consideration. We elect our local officials to look after our best interests but the more you look into things or take an interest in the affairs of the neighbourhood, the more it becomes somewhat clogged up with politics and revenue. Quality of life seems too low down the list, 'IMHO'. Anyway well done GRIED campaigners. Have we not had enough businesses, height, light blockage, crime, p;ermit abuse etc introduced into the borough with Westfield?
