Long Live Southbank
We caught up with Long Live Southbank campaign spokesman Henry Edwards-Wood, who is mobilising the local skateboarding community to save this historic spot, to get his side of the argument.

Check out our column by Niall Neeson presenting the case to make the best of the Southbank redevelopment plans.
