Dear Store Manager

Permission for a photo shoot on Saturday 16^th July at 11am

I am part of a team campaigning against what we term the Tesco Toxic Towers, the proposed High Rise development at your site. On the 11^th July our lawyers lodged an application for judicial review at the High Court to stop the development going ahead.

I would be grateful if you could allow us to meet by the store entrance for around 10-15 minutes this Saturday July 16^th  am to help fund raise for our campaign.

There is a petition on line with more than 3,000 signatures which suggests significant opposition to the proposal among your customers.

The local NHS trust has provided information listing 55 child deaths and hundreds of hospital admissions for diseases linked to air pollution for three boroughs locally. My concern is that no attempt has been made by the Council to quantify the real risk of living beside a busy polluting High Road and Crossrail. By this I mean looking at child hospital admission and death statistics in the infill between the High Road and Crossrail.

Air filters have been proposed at locations most exposed to pollution, but no specification of the air filters has been published or a maintenance schedule provided.

The wording on the banner reads

Stop the Tesco Toxic Towers

Support the Kids’ Lives Matter Legal Challenge

I hope to hear from you soon.

 

Regards
