IT IS good news the Greenwich Society and others are weighing in to challenge the proposal to demolish Borthwick Wharf on Deptford's waterfront and replace it with a tower block.

The impact on the view from Greenwich Park is important but it's not the only issue.

The building needs to be preserved for its own sake. It is not redundant there are users raring to get in.

It is true Lewisham Council approved taller tower blocks on Convoys Wharf but the application still has to get past Ken Livingstone and John Prescott before the approval is effective.
