Historic Preservation in London

The developer who demolished this pub in Kilburn, without permission from the Westminster Council, has been ordered to rebuild it brick by brick.

Now that's a commitment to historic preservation with some teeth!

  1. Development Corporations the apply for federal grants and don't allow for the continuous historical use should be made to repay the grants they acquired also.

    1. A few years back, Supervisor Thurston asked whether anyone knew exactly how many grant requests the city had going at one time? That was at a Common Council meeting, where she next suggested that the city devise a way the public could easily find an answer to that question.

      Does anyone know if there's any progress on that front?
