Tales from the rive bank

Article Abstract:

Activists have been occupying the site on the banks of the Thames in Wandsworth that is designated for development by owner Guinness. The developer wants to build a supermarket, a new access road and some housing, but the council wants business and employment opportunities and better use of the river frontage. Protesters want affordable housing and green public space. Guinness is awaiting the verdict of a public inquiry into the scheme.
