DANGER: FIRE RISK! Network Rail will only protect their own workers during the development. The rest of us will be at risk. This isn't even the half of it... #NetworkJail

Why do Lambeth Council continue to allow Network Rail to breach their own planning conditions? Certain people aren't doing their jobs... Magdalena Kotyza - Planning Officer Wade Sowman - Planning Enforcement

Environmental conditions in the vicinity of the works will be impacted by unacceptable levels of noise, vibration & poor air quality, with dust & dangerous particulate matter, (PM 10’s and smaller), possibly carrying remnants of asbestos directly into the lungs of the community.

TODAY! Three years ago on this very day, Network Rail announced plans to refurbish the Brixton Arches. Today we DEMAND that Lambeth Council shut this development down. It is UNSAFE and will compromise market traders on Brixton Station Road. More: tr.im/SBA RT RT
