Building of architectural interest are eligible for listing by English

If not will you be making a listing application?


The text on the page mentions that none of these buildings are 'listed',
although it is felt that there is merit in retaining some of these heritage
buildings. Lots of other people may also believe this to be the case, so why
does it have to be me to make a listed application?


If you care so passionately about these interesting and important
examples of our architectural heritage that you think the transport
needs of everyone living in the entire Uxbridge Road corridor are
secondary to the preservation of these buildings, surely making an
application to have them listed would be a small sacrifice?

It is not proven to me that the same benefits that a tramway provides can not
be equally, and less destructively, be provided by a trolleybus scheme.


Why would the level of destruction differ between a tramway and a
trolleybus scheme?
