Council-sponsored vandalism

This rubble is all that's left of the lovely - if neglected - tudor lodges on Upper Richmond Road by Putney Park Lane.

Despite strong opposition from residents and the Putney Society, the Conservative council felt that this part of Putney's heritage wasn't worth saving - and in a few months' time we'll have yet another bland block of flats instead. After all, we don't have enough of those do we - especially when compared with the abundance of tudor lodges throughout the constituency.

Forgive my sarcasm but this is a dreadful decision that is irrevocable. It appals me that the Conservatives keep dancing to the developers' tune, whether it's building huge tower blocks no one wants, or allowing buildings that they should have listed and defended to be smashed to pieces.

If this makes you angry too, please don't just sit on your hands. Vote for change.
