I’m relieved to discover that a lot of people share my dismay at the sheer scale of the proposed new development by Make next door to the National Theatre.

People are asking what, if anything, can be done.

First, there is an online petition which I hope people will sign (https://www.change.org/p/sos-save-our-south-bank?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=077e1c50-7ab4-11ec-a251-25d62d5f2bdb&s=09).

Second, maybe the National Theatre might be able to help make more of a noise about it.

Third, I am sceptical that Michael Gove will approve of it. He is in charge of planning. He has the power to call it in. I hope he will exercise it.

Please help if you can.
