Dear Editor,

During the cross examination of evidence at the hearing for the Tunnel Road Fields application for Town/Village Green status several key issues were exposed.

Firstly, that the Kensington Regeneration Board made no attempt to consult residents in the Chatsworth Estate or St Dustan's Village over their plan to deprive them of their open space, which they had enjoyed and developed since 1963

Secondly ,that Kensington Regeneration Board misrepresented affairs, in that  their recent newsletter  they banner headlined that " local residents supported building on these fields" when they had made not even consulted the residents most immediately effected

Lastly that Kesnington Regeneration had organised a deliberate campaign to frustrate the Village Green Application. As part of their campaign residents of Edge Hill were misled that they had a claim to have homes built on this site and that this was the only way they could expect relief from the very Dereliction and Decanting Kensington Regeneration had inflicted upon their own communities

We now invite Kensington Regeneration to publicly apologise for failing to consult and engage meaningfully with the Chatsworth and St Dustan's Village communities.

Furthermore that Kensington Regeneration come clean and publish that they do have a plan "B" for continuing Housing redevelopment in Edge  Hill ,if they are unable to gain approval to the build on Tunnel Road Fields should the Village Green application be upheld
