Default West London Line...... Chelsea station

There is absolutely NO certainty that the much-vaunted "Chelsea" (i.e,.

Chelsea
Harbour) station will ever be built.

This was a trick by the developers (St. George) and used as a bribe to

the
treacherous council (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) in order to

get
planning consent for the massively over-dense and traffic-generating and
road-gridlock-inducing development, from which everyone living in this

part of
Fulham is now suffering.


Typical St George, they massively over-develop and throw up hideously ugly
buildings, look at what's being thrown up at Vauxhall Cross........... I
like tall buildings but every time I pass their efforts at Vauxhall, and
also Chelsea Harbour Mark II, I feel sick (and very angry). They should not
be allowed to infect the London skyline with their crap.

Originally the council was vehemently opposed to the development (and

supported
the residents who were opposed to the road traffic and others detriments

that
this massive Chelsea Harbour Mark 2 would cause - now being built all

along
Townmead Road) but a few bribes by St. George (like the promise of said

railway
station, and some cheap homes for council-allocation) and the council

performed
a 180 degree maneouvre and granted planning consent.


Scandalous!

Not even a scintilla of a sign of the station being built - some 6 or so

year
later!

I'd be willing to bet the value of my now much-devalued house on this

station
NEVER being built.


In which case the expensive-to-London-taxpayers GLA should justify it's
existence by doing something about this vile company.....They should not be
allowed to deface London any longer.
