Somewhat predictably, the referendum on regenerating South Kilburn is being turned into an all or nothing debate.
The anti campaign is trying to link it to alleged poor behaviour by a number of housing associations in the area, but the outcome of the vote will have no effect on those bodies one way or another. They will do whatever they do regardless of any vote and according to their own business plans. What this debate might do, however, is kill off any new housing in South Kilburn, leaving the area frozen in its current state.
If that were to happen, I suspect that the only way to get things moving again would be through a fundamental change in central government.
