Privatisation battle in Waterloo

A fight has broken out over the building of the Garden Bridge in Waterloo, a meeting was held last night to discuss the matter further.

The Coin Street builders are looking to redevelop the land at Queen's Walk.

The local Waterloo community have put in an objection to the plans, which they say is not a transport project, but an aggressive money making venture undertaken with public money.

They argue that not only is the project not needed, but it will lead to overcrowding and fear it will damage the character and peace of the area.

The community have managed to secure a judicial review to take place in the near future.

A number of political representatives were present at the meeting, but Kate Howey the long standing sitting MP was noticeably absent.
