COXON BATTLES TO SAVE LONDON MARKET 07/08/2007 16:43 http://tinyurl.com/252pqq Former BLUR guitarist GRAHAM COXON is following in the footsteps of his ex-bandmate DAVE ROWNTREE by taking on his local council. Coxon has launched a campaign against a multi-million pound plans to redevelop London's Stables Market, insisting it is destined to become "mediocre, modernist piece of crap." He says, "This is a pathetic attempt at modernisation, What's going to be in it? More Starbucks coffee houses and Carphone Warehouses? "It should be full of tailors, shoemakers, cheesemakers and independent shops, but of course they are not going to do that." Drummer Rowntree lost his election attempt to be- come a local councillor for the Labour party in London's Westminster council in May (07). --
