Boris listens to the people of Richmond and Kingston
The iconic keyhole view of St.Paul's Cathedral from King Henry's Mound in Richmond Park has been reprieved and will be protected.
Tony Arbour, Richmond's GLA member, received an assurance today from Boris Johnson, the newly elected Mayor of London, that not only would he reverse the assaults made by Ken Livingstone but he would also vigorously ensure that there will be no infringements of the original viewing corridor.
"Boris has already delivered in spades for all those who love London, the Park and our historic views," said Tony.
"This decision reverses at a stroke the degradation that Boris's predecessor had permitted on the historic environment and vindicates the efforts made by thousands of local residents [and us! - MegP Ed] who have campaigned for the view.
