Local Support Vital for Wards Corner in Court Tomorrow

Wednesday 24 April is a critical day for Wards Corner Community Coalition.

Our renewed application for Judicial Review of Haringey Council's decision to grant planning permission for the Grainger development will be heard by a Judge at the Royal Courts of Justice tomorrow. Our legal advisors have suggested that the judge will be less likely to refuse permission for Judicial Review if he or she gets a sense from the presence of people in Court that the case is of real importance to the community. So the more people attend the hearing the better, to show that Wards Corner matters to the people of Tottenham, and beyond.

Please come show your support for Wards Corner and WCC! You can meet us at 9.30am outside Pueblito Paisa, Seven Sisters (http://goo.gl/maps/7GqoF), to travel down to the Royal Courts of Justice. Or, you can meet us at 10.15am outside the Royal Courts of Justice, the Strand (http://goo.gl/maps/fRjPj) nearest tubes Temple, Holborn, Chancery Lane or City Thameslink.

We dont know the exact time at which our case will be heard, so we need to be there from 10.30am to wait for it to be called. If you can join us any time during the day, please do. As soon as we have information about the timing of the case, we will send it out via twitter: follow @Wards_Corner. Please pass this information on via your networks - the more the better!

Background information is here. In a sentence, the market, shops and houses above Seven Sisters tube station are threatened with being demolished in favour of LBH's preferred 'regeneration' - private-flat tower blocks and a clone-town High Street.
