Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 29 June 2007
 
Where did grass go?

• THE article, A plane case of vandalism (June 15), reports the loss of plane trees in Pentonville Road due to the conversion of the former Nat West towers into a student hostel.
But it doesn’t mention that the associated multi-storey block along the east side of Killick Street has obliterated entirely a pleasant strip of grass and trees. Okay, it was certainly private land, but I am sure that providing that green strip was one of the conditions, spoken or not, attached to the grant of planning permission for the towers in the first place. Now we’ve got the towers but not the green space. Rather like Newlon’s plans for the Barnsbury estate.
JAMES DUNNETT
Barnsbury Road, N1
