PRESS-RELEASE – 29th March 2006

The lull is now over.  New machinery moved in on site this afternoon and demolition works have commenced once again.  Tank No 1 which has been intact up until now is in the process of being breached.

The South District Association continues to oppose the destruction of these historic tanks and reiterates its position that the "affordable" homes proposed can be built on another site.

Only yesterday another 19-storey luxury development at Kings Wharf was announced, on yet another site that could have provided "affordable" homes for local families.
