🎉 The 50th Soho Village Fête is today — 1970s theme 🕺🪩 and proper community spirit. It’s bringing together residents from #Soho, #CoventGarden, #Bloomsbury, #Fitzrovia, #Camden & #Holborn 🏘️ We’re also here to support @SohoSociety, who lost £27k trying to stop something that should never have happened. A distillery was approved in a beautiful Georgian building — one that never even had planning permission to be a gym, nor a distillery 😱 The Planning Inspector ruled the use was unlawful, noting it had a shared residential staircase and garden. @SohoSociety weren’t just defending planning policy — they were standing up for residents and their homes. And maybe — just maybe — the people in that house will get their home and garden back. If you care about living in Soho: 👉 support the fête 👉 join the Society 👉 stand up for the people behind the front doors 📸 Come down, dress up, and show your support! @CityWestminster @leader_wcc @gbarraclough @rbush @tarekshalaby @WestminsterXtra @tomfoot1 @CllrPLilley @VoteTimBarnes @PaulEFishr #DebbieJackson @SohoGeorge #SohoFête #ProtectSoho #PlanningMatters #Listed #Heritage #Georgian #Soho #CoventGarden #Bloomsbury #Fitzrovia #Camden #Holborn #ChangeOfUse #ClassC3 #ClassD2 #ClassE #SuiGeneris #MaterialChangeOfUse #UseClasses #PlanningEnforcement #ListedBuildingConsent #ProtectHomes
