Looking Further

Sometimes it is good to look outside your immediate area to take a fresh look at issues and Leith Walk is an example of that.  Most of the issues raised will be familiar to people who have experience of regeneration in Kilburn and other places.  While the issue of overmuch short term letting is not such an issue in London, most of the other matters ("social cleansing", affordable housing, the demolition of older buildings, above all what the planning priorities are and who should decide them) all are.
