Plans for a road through Hampstead Heath

I read an article in the Ham and High the other day that left me a little perplexed. I’ve just found out there are plans afoot for a vehicle only road to run through Hampstead Heath! Being a West Hampstead resident myself, I think of Hampstead Heath quite fondly…picnics in the summer and winter strolls.

It seems to me, the one thing London doesn’t have a lot of is green open spaces, so why build a road on one? Reading through the article, it’s not just environmental issues that are under scrutiny, there’s also a safety aspect with a school close by.

Have a look at the article and see what you think – I’d love to hear your feedback.
