Convince me to vote for you
I reckon I'm one of many floating voters around Acton who will be positively swayed by the candidates for Parliament who come out PUBLICLY and declare their support for residents in their campaign to abolish the proposal (and probable planning application) from Catalyst Housing to erect 6, 8, 10, 14 and 20 storey towers on the Friary Park estate (possibly even 29 storeys, Catalyst tell us). Catalyst propose taking our green as theirs, so they tick the box of green spaces and build a road right through the estate, causing a rat-run, whilst increasing the dwellings three-fold on the estate and thus the density. This is a suburban area by definition and residential.We have had Angie Bray who wanted to meet with residents and did so and she gave her time to meet with Catalyst as well and gave us feedback on that too. I'm very grateful for that and very impressed. I would like a public declaration of support though.....the other candidates have been canvassing the area and say they're concerned for us, but let's just cut to the chase - who is going to nail their colours to the mast publicly? Who will do so and also meet with the Council on our behalf? I reckon many of us will vote with our feet if not.I voted both Tory and Labour when the Council elections came around - Vlod Barchuk deserved to be elected again as he's done so much for Acton Central, and I voted too for Daniel Crawford, who did get elected. I would like to think my trust is warranted in those areas.
