A Curiously Misdirected Petition

I see that Martin Francis is claiming that "the community" in the St Raphaels Estate is mounting a petition against regeneration.  I suspect that, given it is apparently going to Sian Barry, this is really a Green Party initiative.  To send a petition to one particular Assembly Member (not even the Brent & Harrow member) to go to the London Mayor seems very strange.  If you want to raise such an issue at the London level, why not raise it with the Mayor yourself?

There again, why raise it at a a London level when most of the St Raphaels estate is owned by Brent Council, and Brent Council would have to be the main driver of any change as both property owner and planning authority?  Any local residents would be far better advised to raise their concerns with the councillors representing the Stonebridge ward.
