• YOU report that the Wendling and St Stephen’s Close estate is to be demolished and rebuilt after 75 per cent of the residents backed the plan, with Cllr Danny Beales (regen­eration chief) saying “we would only move for­ward with these prop­osals with the backing of residents”, (Estate to be demolished as 75 per cent back new homes, July 29).

Simultaneously, 69 per cent of local residents and 78 per cent of business owners directly oppose the creation of the Haverstock Hill cycle lane, but Cllr Adam Harrison (transport chief) is apparently ignoring this and imposing the scheme anyway, (Cycle lane’s green light, July 29).

So while the council is happy to accept residents’ views on regeneration, it won’t listen to those on transport, then? Local democracy in action once again.
