Huge tower blocks near London Underground station would add 515 new homes with £1m offered to improve station and buses

North London residents are concerned over "absurd" plans to build three new tower blocks containing more than 500 flats overlooking the North Circular. Neighbours fear infrastructure, such as roads and public transport, will struggle to cope with the influx of new people when the high rise development looms over the surrounding area. Developers Wembley Tower Ltd are looking to build a £250m development at Wembley Point, including 515 new homes, a boxing gym, retail space, and a new cycle way. It is part of a wider redevelopment of the area, which has already seen the existing 21-storey 'WEM Tower' turned into 439 studio flats. The plan has received a number of objections from residents who feel the scheme will adversely affect their quality of life. People living in the nearby WEM Tower have suggested they were unaware of the plans before they moved in and are "concerned about the inconvenience". READ NEXT: The 'nightmare' South London street...
