Property moguls refuse to address residents’ fears

PROPERTY developers refused yesterday to address the concerns of local residents fighting against the demolition of a series of Victorian homes and two historic pubs.

Lillie Road and Empress Place hold two rows of Victorian workers’ cottages and lie a mere walk away from the former exhibition centre.
