Dear supporter,

This is an urgent call to action, as we have unexpectedly entered a major state of emergency regarding the Southbank undercroft.

On Monday December 1st, the Southbank Centre completely fenced off the entire skating area for what they claim are “essential repairs”, suspiciously just days after submitting their new planning application for the undercroft users to be relocated to a site under Hungerford railway bridge.

It has also been reported that their security guards have been attempting to stop members of the public from taking photographs and videos at the scene.

Please help us by submitting your objections to this new planning application, by following the instructions located beneath the image in this link:

If you have a Facebook account that you can log into, we would also appreciate if you could share this image and encourage others to submit their objections too.

Thank you,

Skylon / SOS Resistance
