I spoke to members of the public in Uxbridge and received mixed responses when I asked whether they would buy The Sun on Sunday and if they thought there would still be a market for it.

Have a listen to it here: Public perception on The Sun on Sunday launch

Sun on Sunday

Battersea Power Station is for sale on the open market for the first time in its history.

An estimated £500m is expected for Europe’s largest brick structure in a huge worldwide marketing push to secure a long-term owner.

The former power station on the south bank of the River Thames, is the last major undeveloped regeneration site in central London.

Planning permission for a £5 billion homes, offices, hotel, retail and leisure development has already been secured from Wandsworth council last year by former owner Treasury Holdings.
But with its quartet of towering chimneys continuing to dominate the capital’s skyline, the grade II listed former power station hasn’t fared well since its closure in 1983. 

Developer after developer has come along with big, bold plans on how to regenerate this historic building, but the sheer scale of the prospect has defeated them.

But it comes with a "poisoned chalice" - the crumbling power station which cannot be demolished because it is listed.
