The Quarter Mile site was sold off for a song to the Banks and their Developers, and the most famous living architect in the world Norman Foster's partnership are playing a design role.
This site cud have been given to the local housing associations to build dozens and dozens of flats for students and other folks on low income.
Instead its been optimised to create or is it recreate very expensive flats well out of the reach of mosts folks who live around the meadows. What the benefits to the local community might be is dozens and dozens of minimum wage jobs cleaning and table wiping.
An organised meadows community cud have stopped this overt greed and made the politicians and planners have a think and a rethink...
regards
Tom
