In an open letter to Gordon Brown in today's Camden New Journal concillor Roger Robinson said he has been given "no alternative but to fight alongside anyone" to stop the "world's largest ever, highest level virus containment facility / animal testing lab" to be built within a Camden council estate on brownfield land behind St Pancras and Kings Cross stations.
Councillors vowed today to fight the MRC.
They want to use the Freedom of Information act to find out : WHO the other bidders for the land were and WHY the plans were revealed to local residents just weeks before the sale was due to go ahead despite the sale / bids first being applied for in 2003...[giving them no time to organise and spread publicity] And WHY Gordon Brown gave the plan his backing despite promises for to build more council homes.....and in the face of widespread local opposition. Councillors have also said that they will not give the MRC planning permission and want a Public Enquiry.
Natalie Bennet of the Green Part said that "it doesn't take the MRC to research that bad housing [also lack of] and lack of community facilities are bad for health.
A march [see Camden New Journal] to Parliament is planned for thre New Year.
Support the local people of Camden! Female campaigners have said that they were approached and threatened by "shady characters" who tried to stop them campaigning. Don't leave these women, elderly campaigners and youngsters to fight this alone!!
