My mother, Louanne Tranchell, who has died aged 87, was a passionate campaigner for community involvement in planning decisions. She recognised the importance of questioning authority and was committed to bringing people together to mark struggles and successes.
Louanne’s work in mobilising the community began in London in 1977, campaigning against Norman Foster’s plan for Hammersmith Broadway and imagining an alternative vision for the site that won improvements for the area.
