from our community to all those who serviced the estate, helped residents, delivered and cleaned and cared.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
The effect of houseboats on residents in the winter has been severe because the fumes from fires in the boats rise up and affect residents quality of life.
We had asked for electric charging points for boats and also notice with delight that many houseboats carry solar energy panels.
Tower Hamlets Council provides advice for houseboat owners and we would strongly recommend to follow them.
Are a few points advised about on this page.
Smoke from canal boat users is also a big issue. Residents contact the council on a regular basis to report smoke nuisance. If using wood for fuel it should be well-seasoned and dry.
Waste wood should never be used as it is likely to contain chemicals that will be emitted when the wood is burned. Boat users should consider using smokeless fuels as an alternative.
The council has produced a “Cleaner Air for All on the Waterways” guide to help boaters protect their health, reduce pollution and improve the surrounding environment.
Residents can report smoke nuisance to the council’s Environmental Health and Trading Standards Service on 020 7364 5008 or email environmental.protection@towerhamlets.gov.uk

Those trees produce a lot of shade and make it impossible to use the garden as such.
We love trees but not everywhere. Smaller plants need light. We can use the garden to plant flowers and food as soon as these shady trees are removed.
We have a record number of trees on our estate. In the region of 200 trees, which is a lot for an inner city estate. Let’s have some space for flowers, fruit, vegetables and let the sunlight in.
Proposals to re-open the former Raine’s Foundation school as East Park School are under way. This should be interesting reading for our local parents and those interested in Church of England Secondary Education.
An open evening for interested parties is planned for Thursday 6. October 2022 from 6 – 8pm. You may plan ahead and book your place, for an in-person participation, using Eventbrite bookings.

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.
