I have tonight sent a letter to Alan Jope, Chief Executive of Unilever plc, making him aware of why Unilever's proposals to build a high-rise complex of offices and residential units on the banks of the Hogsmill River are bad for Kingston and will harm our natural and historic environment and communities

You can read the letter here

Mr. Jope has replied saying that he has shared my concerns with the Unilever project team who will raise them with the developer responsible for the site. Mr. Jope said that the buildings will meet the highest environmental and aesthetic standards, which is all very well but does not address the issues to which I have drawn his attention

Please write to Mr. Jope with any of your own concerns about Unilever's proposals which you can see in pictures here

Please donate now to my fundraising to help me challenge Kingston's housing and jobs targets at judicial review when The London Plan is published, which will be very soon

We will only have 6 weeks to submit a case to court from that time
