Local MP Sarah Teather is fighting the unpopular Brent Cross plans

Local Brent Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather has spoken out on Boris Johnson's decision to give the green light to unpopular plans for the redevelopment of Brent Cross

Sarah Teather said:

"The Mayor is asleep at the wheel. Instead of giving this controversial and divisive scheme the extra scrutiny it needs, he has waved it through with barely a second thought.

"Everyone wants regeneration but this scheme will make our area worse and not better. People in Brent will feel like they have been stabbed in the back by the man who is supposed to serve their interests.

"It now falls to the Secretary of State to demand a public enquiry. The Labour Government have it in their power to block these catastrophic plans and they must not shirk their duty as the Mayor has."
