  8. Police station housing plan rejectedpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 28 September 2018

    Local Democracy Reporting Service

    A plan to knock down a former police station in Chelsea and replace it with 32 flats has been rejected.

    Developers wanted to demolish the 1930s building in Lucan Place, where the notorious Acid Bath Murderer John Haigh confessed his crimes, and where actor John Gielgud was also once held, and replace it with a ten-storey block.

    The application by 2 Lucan Place Ltd was supported by 13 people who contacted Kensington and Chelsea council’s planning committee.

    They said they would like the redundant space used again and thought the plan was designed well and liked the suggestion a nursery could open in the building.

    The police station was on the market for £35m in 2015 after it was one of 200 sold by the Metropolitan Police to save money.

    A report considered by the committee said some of the flats proposed for the lower floors would not get “good standards of daylight and sunlight”.

    It also said the applicant had not shown why it was not possible to include affordable homes on the site.

    Hundreds of head teachers from England and Wales have attended a rally in central London later, to demand extra funding for schools.

    They met in Parliament Square before delivering a letter to No 11 Downing Street, amid concerns over work conditions and overcrowded classrooms.

    The heads quote the Institute of Fiscal Studies' claim that per pupil funding has fallen 8% in real terms since 2010.

    The government says school funds will rise to a record £43.5bn by 2020.

    It's the end of university and, if luck is on your side, you have had the best three years of your life.

    The nightlife has been amazing; you've made lots of new, life-long friends, as well as spending hours in the library on coursework and preparing for exams.

    Hopefully, this has paid off - but what now?

    This is the question many students ask themselves when they graduate but few realise adult life is about to come down on them like a tonne of bricks.

    When Kevin Broch graduated from Royal Holloway University of London, in 2015, he was looking forward to leaving uni and beginning his professional life.

    However, the feeling of hopefulness soon turned to helplessness.
