WESTWAY FLYOVER, A40, KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA, GREATER LONDON. A woman confronting a police officer during a demonstration 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. At a reception held earlier that day at the Lords 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. This photograph was taken at grid reference TQ
