SAVE in the news - May 2024

This month the Guardian, Time Out and Country Life reported on SAVE and Architects' Journal’s re:store ideas competition, featuring the final 6 submissions. Staying with M&S, Building.com featured the £130m redevelopment of a 1930s House of Fraser under the headline 'It's M&S's Oxford Street neighbour - and it's being refurbished, not demolished', noting that retrofit is saving two-thirds of the carbon of a new-build. The story was picked up by the Daily Mail. SAVE founder Marcus Binney’s well deserved Europa Nostra award was covered by the BBC and the Jersey Evening Post. We were also quoted in the Manchester Evening News, responding to the news that Grade II listed Reedham House in Manchester is to be demolished to make way for a 14-storey office block. In London, Building Design reported our objection to the planned development at Liverpool Street Station and the Camden New Journal noted our support for the Save Museum Street campaign. SAVE also gets a mention in York Mix for our objection to burial of 19th-century Rutgate Bridge in York. And SAVE's 1981 campaign on heritage in Leeds got a mention in a fascinating piece on the revival of back-to-back housing in Bloomberg's CityLab.
