I just heard about "Little Green Street" this morning and wanted to voice my humble opinion and wanted to know what you think about this little stretch of history in London,

My understanding is that new construction in the area is a huge threat to this place with so much charm and historical presence.

I understand it is only a couple of blocks,yet is it worth destroying another piece of what makes London....London??

I would like to know what is being done to prevent the development at the end of Little Green Street.

Surely this cannot be allowed to happen. I hope there is strong organised opposition to the idiotic decision of that Prentis man = government employee.

It all comes down to one rule for them, and another for us. If we own one of these houses and decide to alter it,they say we cant because it is listed. But if they decide to shake the foundations appart with heavy lorries,they can. It is madness. I only hope it can be saved.
