SPECIAL REPORT: AS THE TOWN HALL PREPARES TO GIVE THE GO AHEAD TO A £2BN SCHEME THAT WILL CHANGE KING’S CROSS FOREVER, RICHARD OSLEY INVESTIGATES

KX chief stands by his plans

ARGENT chief executive Roger Madelin last night (Wednesday) claimed objectors to his company’s plans for King’s Cross were in a tiny minority and should not be allowed to stand in the way of a great opportunity for the area’s rebirth.

Mr Madelin said that thousands of residents in King’s Cross and Somers Town backed plans for the overhaul.
He said: “The objectors are a small handful of people, a tiny minority. They are very vocal and ring you guys up a lot. I have spoken to thousands of people who say lets get on with it. They want to take this opportunity to end the blight and uncertainty in King’s Cross”
In defence of the project, Mr Madelin said that the overhaul would create nearly 2,000 new homes and 25,000 new jobs.
He added: “If you do any more homes then you risk losing out on the equation with the cluster of culture, education and retail uses on the site.”
