So far in all the press coverage surrounding Robin Hood Garden estate there has been a significant absence of the most important side of the story - that of the largely Bengali residents. I'm heartened to read about Darren Pauling's survey, and applaud the organisers of the upcoming exhibition at the RIBA It doesn't suprise me that the Council bends the truth about it's consultation results in order to back up their 'regeneration' plans. Can any regeneration scheme work by bulldozing everything in sight? There is a primary school, a newly improved doctors surgery (I read above), a mosque, and over 200 family homes with their gardens and allotments. Wouldn't it be better to try to implement a regeneration scheme that builds and improves on the existing stuctures no matter how problematic?
