Do you save your old ...Save them for what purpose? Do you save your old out of style and worn out clothes to remind you of the times when you bought and wore them? I doubt it. London City council and the "dynastic" employees in City Management need a kick in the pants to get them focused on the real issues facing living Londoners today - that being the lack of decent paying jobs, the homeless and mentally challenged (they walk the streets daily) senior's and veteran's support and proper health care for all! These are the real issues facing Londoner's today and going into the future. What about access to basic necessities for people in the downtown core - like safe and well light streets, medical and dental care, grocery stores, dry cleaners etc. What is really needed in London is an efficiency review of ALL City Managers and their respective departments. What have they really done lately? Heritage Property Rules need to be reviewed and revamped so they are in concert with progress and developers need to be on the committee. Yes, our history and heritage is important, but, not at the cost of progress! If you want to preserve our heritage, spend your time and money to write a book about it and see who buys it. Hint: You won't even get it published. You are in the smallest of minorities. No one cares about these petty issues but you.

I know the city well enough not to get lost when I visit and have friends in Wortley Village. Fortunately there hasn't be a huge influx pf development money flowing into London over the years and that has meant not as much demolition.So it's encouraging to see the council's decision to save these buildings.David R.
