Andrew Dismore

Following the Mayor’s decision to approve the Mount Pleasant development scheme proposed by Royal Mail Group, Labour London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden, Andrew Dismore AM, said:

“As expected, Boris Johnson today gave planning permission to Royal Mail Group for their Mount Pleasant scheme, despite excellent representations from Islington and Camden Councils and the Mount Pleasant Association on behalf of the local communities.

I was not allowed to speak myself but was present throughout the ‘hearing’ and I consider the Mayor’s decision to be against the interests of Londoners and in the interests of property developers’ profits.”
