Len and Alf await the planning meeting where the street's fate will be decided. Jerry calls Len a sell-out. Len thinks the residents are afraid of progress. Alf is prepared to declare Len's interests before the committee if he has to. Janet stops cooking Ken's meals. Ena tries to discourage Minnie from marrying Albert. The Gazette only has a short article on the protest by the action group and only gives the petition a cursory mention. The residents feel no one cares. Emily is furious and throws a brick through Len's window as he's preparing to set off for the Town Hall. She's frozen to the spot afterwards but Len and Ray blame it on some children and don't give her a second glance.
