This has tremendous historical value to my family. My grand-parents for generations worked as Dyers on this Rd.

The Council is putting developers before the people it is supposed to represent.Destroying old buildings doesn't regenerate .These people aren't the cleverest

Please save these historic buildings from being turned into another private housing development. They are special to me as my Great Great Grandparents lived and worked at 32 Goldhawk Road from the late 1800's to about 1910.

This is the best street in London to buy fabric and the trade directly affects all of the businesses in the area. Ending peoples livelihoods all for the sake of a few flash flats is appalling behaviour by the council.

Demolishing livelihoods to make way for yet more private housing is a disgrace.

Please leave the shops on Goldhawk Road be. The range of fabric shops in this small area are a unique resource for the uk costume industry. As the head of costume at Clwyd Theatr Cymru I regularly travel from North Wales to purchase fabrics here. To relocate even a few of the shops would significantly reduce the value of the area to customers like me.

The fabric shops are essential to the costume and fashion industry. It would be an absolute crime to get rid of them for flats that most people would not be able to afford anyway. These shops are essential and need to be saved!

Fabric heaven! To be left untouched so that it can be enjoyed by those who appreciate its rich range of fabric, a gold mine

Yet another example of those in a position to make decisions failing to understand the importance and value of an environment and culture that evolved out of real need for both locals and professionals (see Debbie Knight below) - I wonder what the reaction would be if similar proposal for Borough Market?

Don't turn this part of London into another soulless zone.
