plans to corporatise camden market

has been approved by Camden County Council in order to demolish Camden
stables market and to build a new complex with high street chains like
Topshop and Starbucks.
Camden is not only a place of originality in the fields of music,
fashion and alternative culture but also a place of fascinating history.
It's at the very heart of one of London's most culturally, politically
and ethnically
diverse areas. It attract people from all over the world, of all ages,
all interests and all backgrounds. Nowhere has ever been quite like
Camden market, and NOWHERE ELSE EVER WILL BE IF WE LOSE IT!
We've lost both the Kings Road and Kensington high street as the last
bastions of alternative culture to the corporate developers over the
last fifteen years... Please, don't let Camden go the same way. We can't
let the stables be torn down - They are such an integral part of
Camden's ambiance and London itself won't be the same without them.
Please, please, please give us just 1 minute of your time and go to:

it goes straight to the government and officially has to be responded to.
This could be our last chance to make a difference.
Surprisingly few Londoners even know about the plans. Do anything you
can think of to help!
