A message from the Co-Chairs of MBCG

WELCOME TO THE MORTLAKE BREWERY COMMUNITY GROUP
Welcome to the new Mortlake Brewery Community Group (MBCG) website designed and built by two of our Mortlake residents. We have decided to relaunch our website to coincide with the next stage of our campaign to ensure the Stag brewery site is developed for the benefit of the community.
This website incorporates our previous campaign website lovemortlake.org.uk and includes lots of information about the work of MBCG over the last few years in response to the proposed re-development of the Brewery. We are keen to encourage as many people as possible to use the website to share their thoughts and ideas for the future of the site.
Alongside Twitter and Facebook as well as mainstream media, we hope to mobilise residents of Mortlake, Barnes and East Sheen and across Richmond more broadly. Everyone who lives or works in our beautiful borough will be affected if the existing scheme goes ahead as proposed. We need to continue to put pressure on Richmond Council, the GLA and the developers to ensure that any future development is truly sustainable and benefits the whole community.
Please contact us if you want to post a blog or a photo and join with us to make your voice heard.
