Twickenham MP Vince Cable is to meet the developers behind controversial plans to redevelop the train station.

Dr Cable is to meet representatives from Solum Regeneration, a partnership between Network Rail and Keir Property, to discuss their plans for the Twickenham station on Friday.

He said he would use the meeting to raise residents' concerns over the suggested development, which will include a new station with modern facilities, shops and restaurant spaces and 170 flats housed in three blocks of high-rise flats.

Residents hit out at the proposal claiming the site is being over-developed and high-rise buildings are not suitable for the area.
