To be fair, I also want to publish a petition, which has been created by residents who want to keep the existing LTN measures. To sign this petition go here: Publishing this petition does not mean that I endorse it but just that I want to give equal voice to all who live here. Everybody against LTN already had the chance to express this in the council petition.
You may have received an email from the council consulting on removing all the Liveable Streets programs they have done so far. This is the link to the surveys (which is also contained in that email):
https://talk.towerhamlets.gov.uk/liveablestreets
I would urge you to fill in all of the surveys as soon as possible – we have only until the end of the month. You can fill the surveys in even if you haven’t received a printed copy of any of them in the post. It may want you to enter a survey reference code – you can just leave that box blank.
Please forward to anyone else you know in the borough who would like to see streets which are safer for all members of the community. This survey can be completed by anyone in your household including children and also people who do not reside in Tower Hamlets can complete it.
There are a lot of different views about road use, please make yours known.
I am delighted with today’s letter from Latimer, the housebuilding arm of Clarion Housing Group.

Many of our residents have complaint about the depressing effect the hospital site currently has on us. I cannot wait for the new planning application.

We’ll be at the Glasshouse Community Centre most Thursday mornings between 10-12. Have a coffee on us.
Thanks to all the residents who followed the requests to remove parked cars on the day.
Preparations for this event starts weeks ago and finally today, 3. June 2022, we actually set up the street party around the Glasshouse Community Centre.
When we started the party, families immediately used the tables for our colouring in activity. Kids taking part got stickers and badges.
Chair of the Residents Association, Shamsia Foreman produced delicious cup cakes, which would have stood a definite chance to win the cake baking competition but people were very hungry and the cup cakes got eaten before they could get judged.
In the hall people came to collect food and drink. All families took pictures in front of our Queen Elizabeth tapestry.
Our local resident Neil, brought out his keyboard and played to entertain people. He even had a duet with a local child, learning the piano.
Our competitions had excellent entries for crown, royal model and cake.
Pictures shows our young crown winner, best royal model was won by Old Ford Primary Academy, best cake won by Musammat from Cephas Street.
Thank you to RA chair Shamsia Begum’s ‘Stop Smoking’ stall, which enhanced the Healthy living theme of our party.
Lets not forget our biggest fan, and most patriotic dog of the event
thank you also to our sponsors, Tower Hamlets Council, Eden Project for high quality bunting and props.

It was brought to our attention via NextDoor that on the Parkview Estate, there is a high rate of car break-ins. This morning, one of our coordinators went around the estate and indeed found one car windscreen smashed. We will post pics of all problems we found here, anonymised of course.
A picture was taken and the matter was reported to police and CAD 1183/31Mar22 was allocated.
We can offer residents a specific ASB / crime WhatsApp group to let us know immediately when they have become aware of a problem. We can only deal with what we know and then also raise the matter at the SNT Ward Panel. Please let us know if you wish to become a Neighbourhood Watch member and part of a Parkview WhatsApp group. Register for Neighbourhood Watch here and join the Parkview Neighbourhood Watch group. You can then ask to join a WhatsApp group Parkview specific.
Protect your car against criminals break-ins by not leaving any valuables or tech items in plain sight. Also you are advised to use a security attachment for blue badges. car crime prevention advice here
