Camden Deadly Disease & Animal Torture Lab - there were 27 other bidders.

London against Camden Danger Lab {Mandy} | 16.05.2008 14:16 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Other Press | London | World

As you may be aware there is an attempt to build a deadly disease lab in London. There were 27 other bidders for the land at Brill Place next to St Pancras International in the heart of London's business district. The site is also on a Camden council house estate. 12 complied with the planning briefthat the site should be used for 50% housing but were turned down. There is something very stinky about this whole thing...

The attempt to build the "World's largest ever, high level, virus containment facility and animal testing lab" by a the UCL / Wellcome Trust / Cancer Research / MRC / consortium has been brilliantly reported in the nation's press after a tip off from MP from Hendon Andrew Dismore. Paul Keilthy has been covering the story. Natasha Gilbert did a great article in the Guardian and the next day the Evening Standard, thelondonpaper and London Lite did some great articles. The consortium plans include a move by the level 4 NIMR lab facility from Mill Hill to the inner London site.

The 27 other bidders were :

Development securities plac and Grainger plc {JV}
Oracle Group
Minerva
Tudorvale Properties
City Lofts Group
Thornsett Group plac and CIT Group plc {JV}
Terrace Hill Group plc
MRC consortium
Henderson Global Investors {with First Base and Notting Hill Housing Association}
First Regeneartion Homes Ltd, Rinnceton Investments Ltd / Tiger Developments Ltd
Splendid Hotel Group
Pantherlee Ltd
Barrett homes
The Merchant Property Group / Capital & Counties
Redrow Regeneration Commercial Partner - Commercial Estates Group
Bee Bee Developments Ltd
Leander
City & Docklands / Scarborough Development Group {JV}
Taylor Wimpey Development London Region Partnered by Bride Hill Developers
Criterion Capital Ltd
Places For People {RSL}
Landmark Developers with the Ability Group
Marcol Group / Nicolas James Group Ltd
Community Housing Association
Coexist Foundtaion
St James Group {Berkley Group}
London & Regional Holdings

We want to know why these bidders were turned down in favour of the MRC consortium when 12 complied with the council's planning brief and some were offering higher financial bids.

Why not write to Gordon Brown and Camden Council leaders and find out ?
