Brian Coleman corner: Cricklewood and diversity

From Brian's good friend Rog at Barnet Eye:

I happened to talk to someone who is very friendly with Brian Coleman about his opposition to the Cricklewood regeneration project....why has Coleman gone against his leader on Cricklewood? The reason is because he believes that in a Borough such as Barnet, low rise, low density housing is far more suitable than big tower blocks. He also believes that children need gardens. He believes that the Cricklewood scheme will be a huge step towards the destruction of Barnet as a pleasant place to live. Well Mayor Coleman, for once I totally agree with you.

Rog has even offered Brian a guest post to further explain his views. Brian, I urge you to accept. Why not do it straight after you've annoyed your other leader Boris Johnson later this morning with the following from the Mayor's Question Time priority list:

How many diversity officers are employed by TfL, LFEPA, the MPA and the LDA?

What's led Brian down this road to discord? Perhaps he's been reading this blog.
