Trees around Dixon Clark Court
• FOLLOWING the letters about building on the communal garden and felling mature trees around Dixon Clark Court, near Highbury Corner, I am writing in support of defenders of green space.
Air pollution in the area is already high and will only be increased by building there. The bottleneck at Highbury Corner and regular traffic jams on its main access routes produce a toxic mix.
The recently built apartment block nearby, with 54 flats on previous open space add to the air pollution. I heard once an Islington Society talk on the loss of grassy areas in the borough.
