Staff at Fizrovia Neighbourhood Center in Tottenham Street were suprised to see the scaffolding being erected around there work place but were told by workmen the building is due for a makeover, which was untrue.

After 5 days of waiting for this so called makeover Linus Rees, who runs the news shop in the building contacted the council to find out what’s going on ? They said “Oh, they’re not supposed to do it there’.”

A council spokeswoman apologised for the error, adding: “We are reviewing procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
