Public FreakOut

FURY over a new development in West Hampstead exploded at a council meeting (9/9/21) as objectors shouted that people would be left looking out of their windows at a brick wall. At one stage a chair was thrown, and in chaotic scenes expletives could be heard ringing out across the council chamber. “Everybody, stop paying council tax” was cried out to the room, while members of the planning committee were asked if they were “on the side of the rich”. The meeting was broadcast live to Camden Council’s website and everybody attending was told at the beginning that the proceedings were being screened to viewers online.
