Network Rail: "Our priority is completing the works on time"
The priority for any developer is completing any project safely and without incident. The priority should not be time/ cost savings. When focus is placed on meeting deadlines, it puts saving money before saving lives.
ITV's coverage of yesterday's protest at the Brixton Arches!

Attended the @SaveBrixton event in Brixton today. It would have been nice if all the parties turned up to support them but only @Lambethgp did.

Fantastic show of support by the Brixton community for the #savebrixtonarches campaign
TODAY! Three years ago on this very day, @networkrail announced plans to refurbish the Brixton Arches. Today we DEMAND that @lambeth_council shut this development down. It is UNSAFE and will compromise market traders on Brixton Station Road.

Opinion: Network Rail’s redevelopment of the Brixton Arches could inflict environmental misery on the area brixtonbuzz.com/2018/02/opin…
All say hello to Spence Ltd.
The contractors doing the pillaging
They'll put you in danger and kill off the traders
Or may wish that they'd never visited...

We are pleased to say that we have secured a £2.5 million contract at #Brixton Triangle for @networkrail Property spenceltd.co.uk/news.html
Environmental conditions in the vicinity of the works will be impacted by unacceptable levels of noise, vibration & poor air quality, with dust & dangerous particulate matter, (PM 10’s and smaller), possibly carrying remnants of asbestos directly into the lungs of the community.
EXTREMELY worried for people who have to use Brixton Station Road, including train passengers and children at @BrixtonRec creche. This development by @networkrailis is dangerous and must not begin on Monday!! Have you heard about this @SadiqKhan @MumsnetLambeth?
ITV News, London Evening Standard and London Live have confirmed they will be covering our demonstration tomorrow. See you there!

Why do @lambeth_council continue to allow @networkrail to breach their own planning conditions? Certain people aren't doing their jobs...
