STOP the demolition of Earl's Court Exhibition Centre on public health grounds

A full review of public health is URGENTLY called for having been OVERLOOKED to date. Demolition dust knows no postcode. Residents - many elderly as well as children and families - businesses, commuters and visitors are under threat under the same contamination clouds, with demolition teams thought to be starting work as soon as mid-November 2014.

Why is this important?

Local residents and neighbourhood businesses DO NOT WANT the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Planning and Development Control Committee to approve the Reserved Matters Application Ref 2014/03232/DET due soon, before a full independent public health impact assessment is carried out. If any demolition and reconstruction of this HUGE 77-acre West London district is to go ahead, the site and its neighbouring areas will suffer ground contamination, noise pollution (heavy demolition traffic + the accumulative impact of noise), vibration and risks to health during asbestos removal. Furthermore, air pollution in this area, already regularly breaching European air quality standards, make air quality monitoring stations for Hammersmith and Fulham residents essential.
