Sir Michael Palin has shared his frustrations with Mount Anvil’s proposed Bacton Towers development, citing the lack of affordable housing and the negative impact of the proposal on Gospel Oak’s ‘soul’ as key concerns.
In an interview with Peeps, a joint initiative between the Camden New Journal and the Islington Tribune, Palin said “I do get the impression that, as with all these developments, the amount of what they call ‘affordable’ housing gets reduced every time you see a new plan”.
“I think it would be very very sad if Gospel Oak just became […] a dormitory for people working in the city” he went on to add.
