Planning application to demolish Willesden Library withdrawn

A controversial planning application which would have seen a Victorian Library in Willesden High Road demolished has been withdrawn.
Plans for the re-development Willesden Green Library Centre, in High Road, Willesden will now be re-drafted by the developers Galliford Try.
The plans have attracted much criticism with campaign groups who have called for the old library, which was built in 1894 and stands in front of the current building to be preserved.
A spokesman for Brent Council said the decision to redraft the plans was to “allow more time to consider the design of the new cultural centre.” (Brent and Kilburn Times)

Two outstanding short stories last night and some barking doggerel.

Oh, lots of exciting things in the pipeline.  Watch this space for news of our next publication!  That's all for now, see you on the 21st...

Thanks to the marvellous Queens Park Book Festival for looking after us in the hospitality tent on Sunday before and after our turns in the Qwerty tent. Mary Bracht has pictures and a report on her website.

The Willesden Green Writers' Group neverending world tour reaches Queens Park when we open the final day of the Queens Park Book Festival. Come and see us in the Qwerty tent. We have Mary Bracht, we have Tim Craven, we have me. What would you like to hear me read? Will there be children with angel wings and painted faces, will there be winos, will there be people in tweed jackets and sensible shoes?

Programme, ticket prices etc: Queens Park Book Festival. Our bit starts at 12 p.m. on Sunday in the Qwerty tent.
