Lisa Pontecorvo's death in a tragic road accident has hit the King's Cross community hard. Tributes to her have flooded into kingscrossenvironment.com, the host site of this blog. There are many calls for suitable memorials to this tireless local campaigner's life including renaming Edward Square in her honour and a living memorial in the form of the campaign for access to King's Cross/St Pancras (see letter below). Lisa remains an inspiration and is totally irreplaceable, our community is impoverished by our loss of her. The bridge we are calling for at the north end of King's Cross Station is a highly appropriate metaphor on so many levels for her bravery, unceasing commitment to improving our environment and her single-minded determination. The campaign needs more activists to keep going. Can you devote just an afternoon or morning between 1-5 October - during the King's Place opening festival - to stand and hand out leaflets asking people to join the campaign and sign the petition? Or can you make a contribution of time and/or expertise to assist? Please contact us as soon as you can.
