We have been told about some new public consultations by Greenwich Council. Astonishingly and hearteningly this includes one which is asking for comments on additions to the 'Local List' - this is the list of local buildings which the Council thinks should be kept but are not thought good enough for local listing. Nothing has been added to the Council list for about 3,000 years - so this is very good news. Some of these are recommendations by the Council itself and others have been sent in by local groups. If you would like to see details and to comment see www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/haveyoursay
Meanwhile we have been through the list and exracted those of, roughy, industrial interest - we save taken the ones just about old houses out.
