Hundreds of people demonstrated outsided the Civic Centre, demanding Councillors reject plans for a concrete factory by the Hornsey rail line. There were banners and placards, leaflets, chants especially from the young people present and speeches. Inside the Council chamber the gallery was packed. A petition of over 2500 people, and hundreds of letters of objection were referred to including from residents associations, local schools and a traders organisation.

The planning officers called on the application to be rejected on various grounds. To great cheers and prolonged applause, the Councillors voted unanimously to turn it down.

This was a magnificent victory for grass roots people power, in particular the determined efforts throughout the last 15 month of local residents of GreenN8 and GreenN4&N15

However, the developer has lodged an appeal and the planning process will grind on and on. Local residents are determined to continue until the idea of a concrete factory in a residential area is totally rejected.
