On Monday, a group of residents in north London secured a major victory: The “Nocado” campaign ended its years-long battle with grocery delivery business Ocado, who wanted to open a distribution centre next to a primary school in Tufnell Park. The group argued the warehouse was inappropriate for the area and warned on the air quality impact on schoolchildren from diesel vans whizzing around near the playground.
The campaign attracted the support of local MP, Jeremy Corbyn, as well as the planning authority, who ruled in their favour — and Ocado conceded it must find somewhere else to go.
