Anyone who cares about our local natural and social spaces in E2 should know for sure about the precious gem that is the Canal Club garden. Please sign the petition, and if you can, stand in solidarity with the E2 Collective to protect this wonderful space from demolition.

Parkview residents! Email us to connect with your friendly TRA: we want to hear from you! [email protected]
Meet some more of your neighbours at our Winter Warmer Festival on 15 December at the Glasshouse. Posters around the estate, and flyers coming through your door!

Very sad how heritage has been destroyed and area ruined by developers Crest Nicholson at our old home, London Chest Hospital

I'm so disappointed about this - I objected on behalf of the labour cllrs this time round. Ultimately the cttee had to make a legal rather than a political decision using a broken planning framework. But as a local resident I'm really sad to see this outcome

Myself and former Cllr. @AmyLWGibbs also objected. Thanks to Steve, Chris and Tom Ridge for their sterling effort.
The Labour Council in Tower Hamlets has let us down on the London Chest Hospital. @MayorJohnBiggs said in October 2016: 'Nobody wants towering blocks of flats in an area of predominantly Victorian terraces and low-rise estates.' Well that's what the Council has approved (1/3)
On Thursday evening they voted for an 8-storey block to overshadow the entrance to Victoria Park. In October 2016 @MayorJohnBiggs said: 'The new buildings must be in keeping with the area and should not block out light from neighbouring properties.' But St James's avenue... (2/3)

In a #housingcrisis its unacceptable that of over 605,000 #emptyhomes in England 205,000 are long term empty-these wasted homes should be used for those who need them assets.publishing.service.go… this is why we launched the Coalition for Community Investment emptyhomes.com/community-inv…

'Mulberry View' development? where's that then? as opposed to Mulberry Death-by-Crest-Nicholson-Tower-Block development at the old London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green. Hope Tower Hamlets Council reject the current plans. @SaveChest @66000mph @EastEndPSociety @thegentleauthor
We're excited to have recently launched our brand-new 4-bed Orchard show home at our Mulberry View development. The Orchard benefits from an open-plan kitchen-family room, spacious lounge and private garage. For more information about The Orchard, visit bit.ly/2Q1L5EO

There have been THREE consultations as Tower Hamlets tries to squeeze this through. But now the developers have changed their plans AFTER the third consultation - meaning that the community has not been properly consulted on the final plans. @MayorJohnBiggs @CllrSirajIslam

The local community is not against a housing development on the London Chest Hospital site. Genuinely affordable housing is needed. But the scale of this is totally inappropriate. A much better development is possible - one that adds to the area, not harms it @TowerHamletsNow
Save Chest Hospital retweeted
Note how @Savills are trying to pressurise and threaten the planning officers at @TowerHamletsNow Council. Imagine the benefits to the borough if the local community had such power over and access to decision makers. @MayorJohnBiggs @CllrSirajIslam

@SaveChest @MayorJohnBiggs @CllrSirajIslam Please don't allow Crest Nicholson to cut mature trees across our street on St James' Avenue. Re-planting a few little ones just won't add up - baby trees can't fight climate change or reduce pollution as much as older healthy trees. teapaw.org/DeepsShetty/status/102…

@Savills and @CrestNicholson are playing dirty at the London Chest Hospital. They have changed their plans AFTER the consultation has closed, and are blackmailing Tower Hamlets Council @TowerHamletsNow by threatening to reduce minimum levels of 'affordable' housing. #contemptible
Here's the full letter from dirty @Savills that attempts to blackmail Tower Hamlets planners into approving the scheme with a last-minute change to affordable housing (35%). It makes a mockery of previous financial viability statements and makes a mockery of the consultation.
