Future of Maiden Lane still ‘wide open’
• LET me reassure New Journal readers and your correspondent RD Warren (Letters, October 15) that there is no cunning plan to demolish Maiden Lane.
For more than a year Camden Council has been consulting the opinions of all the residents of the 470 homes on the Maiden Lane estate – not just the noisy ones.
There have been six community workshop sessions with the Independent Tenant Advisors (Open Communities) and five with the architectural advisors (Levitt Bernstein). I can assure you of the absence of any premeditated plan because I attended four of those five sessions as an observer.
Levitt Bernstein has been listening to the dozens of residents who attended and they’ve worked up alternative ways of going about improving the Maiden Lane Estate.
The last two designs were not pulled out of a hat at 12 hours notice (as claimed) but born out of the feedback two weeks earlier.
Both sets of workshops will be reported back on to the residents at an exhibition to be held this Saturday at the Community Centre, when all will have the opportunity to see and express opinions on the different type of schemes that have evolved.
The future of Maiden Lane is wide open and it is in the residents’ own hands.
They may choose to do nothing and nothing has been decided.
Cllr Paul Braithwaite
(Lib Dem) Cantelowes ward, Town Hall
