Vanguard Court threat to craft studios

[colville09]

Although Vanguard Court isn't East dulwich central it is an amazing collection of artists and craft studios. There is a planning request in for the row of low-lying studios to be demolished and replaced with part work, part residential buildings.This plan will drive drive out the craftspeople and mean the loss of the yard as the creative community as it stands as a place for creative Makers.(Vanguard court is one of the few remaining spaces for creative makers - as opposed to fine artists.)I wonder if any Forumites might be in a position to comment, as local residents knowing the activities carried out in the yard, and aware of the positive impact and the valuable contribution the craftspeople make to the community, as artists, craftsmen, makers, employers, trainers, educators. I have a reminder everyday with a wonderful stained glass front door made in Vanguard Court! Please if you can, write with your objections to:
