Jim Carter supporting the campaign to
Save West Hampstead and "Stop the Blocks!" |
3rd October 2015, Travis Perkins Yard
To demonstrate the damaging impact of the proposals, and based on presentations so far, we organised a stunt involving local residents, representatives from residents' groups, the West End Green Conservation Area Committee, our long-term neighbour and local employer Travis Perkins, and special guest - actor, long time West Hampstead resident, and chairman of Hampstead Cricket Club - Jim Carter. On 3rd October 2015, a cherry picker was installed in the Travis Perkins yard and raised to heights between 14-18 metres to provide a visual representation of block heights that would be built the across the space. Proposed blocks would be even taller still. |
