Activists battle to save Blake’s grave from tower blight
CAMPAIGNERS are battling to save the beauty of poet William Blake’s last resting place after discovering that another piece of England’s green and pleasant land is under threat from one of London Mayor Boris Johnson’s vanity projects.
Heritage site Bunhill Fields park in London is set to be overshadowed by 10 to 11-storey tower blocks after Mr Johnson “called in” the development’s planning application.
Local residents and conservationists launched an emergency petition to stop construction going ahead, which gathered nearly 3,000 signatures in a few days.
