South Kilburn is being given a yes/no vote on whether regeneration should stop. Given my past comments you might think I would welcome this.
This is not as democratic as it might appear since it leaves the community with a veto on whether anything happens at all but no apparent say on what might happen in future. These could include issues such as tenure mix, size of units, levels of affordability and so on. The effects on shared services such as community infrastructure or possible district heating are unclear. Just yes or no strikes me as an inadequate choice.
If the veto is cast, than it is unlikely that any redevelopment will be possible for many years.
