The revamp of a neighbourhood along the River Thames, with multi-million-pound luxury flats in massive tower blocks, has been slammed as a “huge missed opportunity” to build homes residents actually need. Wandsworth Labour said developers’ interests will not be put ahead of locals after taking control of the authority for the first time in 44 years in May. Schemes like the famous Embassy Gardens -with a Sky Pool in the air between two buildings – were approved under the council’s old Conservative leadership but have long faced criticism from Labour councillors.
