Saving Victoria Tower Gardens - interview with Cllr Mark Shearer

We caught up with Cllr Mark Shearer in Victoria Tower Gardens earlier today.

So today we're in Victoria Tower Gardens, just outside of Westminster.

And I'm delighted to say that the High Court has upheld a judicial review that's been brought forward to challenge the decision to build the Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre here.

No one is in any doubt that a Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre is a hugely significant thing and very important for our country. This is just the wrong location for it.

This is a local park, loved by local residents who walk their dogs and have this as their local greenspace.

So we're delighted this decision has been made and all of our support and coming together has worked this far.

So thank you and let's see what next steps bring.
