It has come to our attention that a group has been formed to protest against TfL's
current proposals to locate the station on the King's Road on the site
of Chelsea Fire Station.
They have organised a public meeting and have spoken to the local paper. A story recently appeared on the
front page of "Kensington and Chelsea News" on the 28th of May.
We are alarmed at the
suggestion that the Crossrail 2 station should be located in West
Chelsea. The TfL consultation correctly concluded that it was the most
disruptive option and least supported by local residents.
Cllr.
Tim Coleridge, Cabinet Member for Planning, quite rightly states that
500 homes would be demolished and that this was deemed unacceptable.
We were assured by our MP Greg Hands on the 8th December 2014 that: "the
option for a station at "Chelsea West" has been definitively ruled out
by both Kensington and Chelsea and Council and by Crossrail."
