Westway Flyover, A40, Paddington, City of Westminster, London, 28/07/1970. Four police officers talking with the leader of the demonstrators protesting against the opening of the Westway Flyover. Acklam Road was the focus of protests against the Westway by local residents. Houses along one side of the street had been demolished to make way for the flyover and at a reception held earlier that day at the Lord’s Tavern, George Clark, leader of the residents’ social rights committee, had presented their objections to the Minister of Transport and representatives from the Greater London Council. By September, the GLC had promised the residents that they would be rehoused. The photograph was taken near grid reference TQ2618481667.
