Update on Garages at bottom of Mayfield Avenue

Hi
So I haven't as yet got any news from our Environmental Crime officer, Mr Bryant, but I did get an interesting phone call from Terry Smith last night.
He said that he has information that confirms the following:

1. Acton Housing association has formally won the contract to redevelop the garage area
2. The garages and one sheltered housing block will be demolished
3. 17 one-bedroom flats will be built and sold at a discounted rate to KEY WORKERS, as part of the Government scheme to encourage nurses, teachers, etc. into London.
4. 2 three-bedroomed houses will be built and rented out to key workers.

There will be a forum held in May to discuss the development for Pruden close and neighbouring residents and I suggest that those of you interested should attend. The details are as follows:
Date: 28th May
Time: 17:00 - 19:00
Venue: Common Room, Pruden close (anyone know where this "room" is??)

When this development will start is a question I will be asking and if it is not for some time I will reiterate the need to block the garage area off. Anyway, given that this site was going to be developed, I am very happy to see the type of people they(the council) intend to attract as it could have been a lot, lot worse.
