Name: Cathy Elliott on Jun 11, 2010Comments: It would be so sad to allow this beautiful and historical building, one of the few really interesting buildings on the main shopping streets of Tooting, to be demolished. It is a key part of Tooting's heritage and is irreplaceable. I am sure that another way can be found that would preserve it and use it rather than tearing it down.Flag

Name: Karen Jacobs on Jun 11, 2010Comments: I have submitted my objection to the demolition of this building directly to Wandsworth Council, but want to add to this petition, too, as the RACS building is not only valuable to the community in Tooting today, but also an important link to it's recent past. I have received a reply from the Council regarding the plans for this site and also feel that they would adversely impact on the residents living close to the proposed new building.Flag

Name: Gemma Lloyd on Jun 11, 2010Comments: It seems an absurdity and an arrogance to knock down such a magnificent building to replace it with another bland faceless London building and we all know it's to do with money and nothing else. To line the pockets of a faceless corporation.Flag

Name: Anita Coppola on Jun 13, 2010Comments: I was born in Tooting 44 years ago and after many years away, I returned to live here in 2003. I can't believe that plans are afoot to demolish the RACS building. How shortighted. Over the years there have been various attempts to regenerate the Tooting locality; If the desire is to 'gentrify' the area... this is the wrong way to go about it. Why not accentuate the architecture and develop another attraction to enhance the brilliant community that is Tooting.Flag

Name: Jason Crimp on Jun 13, 2010Comments: Tooting, for its qualities, needs all the historical buildings it can get. We shouldn't allow this one to disappear, it would be huge shame. Developers should realise that people actually live in the places in where they build.Flag

Name: Jayant Mehta on Jun 13, 2010Comments: I have been a tooting resident for over forty years and over the years I have seen the iconic building occupancy from a co-op store, asian supermarket, photographic shop to individual occupancy. The introduction of Kastori, a pure veggie restaurant) was enhanced by the first and only Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva was established and the Hindu devotees felt that within the diverese community a temple sits side by side with churches and mosques. To suggest that a complex be built to accommodate more residential places without taking into consideration the environmental effects of the area, not taking into consideration how to accommodate the temple within. This is poor planning and wandsworth planners should not approve of the planning request. There is only one temple in the tooting ward and I and my family oppose the destruction and descreation of Lord Shiva temple.Flag

Keep our history for our children to understand and appreciate. I am working on an English Heritage building at St Pancras Station - please list our RACS building so we can all enjoy Tooting's beautiful urbanscape.Flag

Name: Alice Dunner on Jun 15, 2010Comments: I strongly object to the demolition of this building. It is a beautiful art deco building with historic and cultural value. It's demolition would be a loss to Tooting and undermine attempts to regenerate the area. It should be preserved.Flag

Name: Justin Dunner on Jun 15, 2010Comments: There are several reasons that this building shouldn't be demolished, as outlined in the petition. On top of that, demolishing just for a property company to turn a profit is entirely the wrong reason in any circumstance. The building should be restored and for use as a mix of community, retail and residential occupancy.Flag

This building, just like Garret Lane itself is part of our heritage and it is wonderful that the building remains and, adapts to new uses and a new generation of admirers. Please, please don't destroy it.Flag

Name: Alison Tomlin on Jun 20, 2010Comments: The building is one of only a few on Upper Tooting Road with a distinctive style and it has real 'presence' - it's a landmark. Think how Tooting residents will feel in, say, 50 years' time (which is as long as most new buildings are designed to last), looking back at photos of what used to be in that space. By then the RACS building would be worthy of putting in books (or more likely by then, websites or whatever's superceded them) showing past glories, and locals will wonder why on earth we knocked it down. I can't see any benefit to the area from having a hotel - only an influx of road traffic, and maybe more custom for local cab firms. Hotel guests won't use local shops and there's enough road traffic already ... The rest of the proposed use is either already happening (community meeting space etc - what's the Hindu temple if not that?; shops) or can be built or adapted within the existing building or elsewhere.Flag
