"A series of public exhibition about updates to the controversial £4-billion plans to regenerated Brent Cross and Cricklewood will begin later this month.

"The original proposals, which campaigners have been battling against, will see the shopping centre in Hendon double in size [true, as in the 1996 plan] and a large-scale regeneration of the Cricklewood area [really? - not by Hammerson, so by whom?].

"However, Hammerson and Standard Life Investments, the developers of the scheme, have now made three improvements to the plans;

a better Brent Cross Shopping Centre,

a new pedestrian bridge, and

faster delivery of some of the major transport improvements.

[Er, is that it?]

"Members of the Brent Cross Coalition protest group believe the proposals will result in thousands of extra cars travelling through the area, and the doubling of the shopping centre will have a detrimental effect on the community.

"Mike McGuinness, development director at Hammerson, said:

"The benefits of Brent Cross Cricklewood will be felt for generations to come, and we are eager to get on and deliver. These updates to the plans will ensure that the regeneration plan becomes a reality and will help secure investment into the area."
