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):
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.

Erecting new hoardings

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.
Did you see the ASB tent behind Mark House last week? Officers from THH and the ASB team patrolled the estate, supported by the local Safer Neighbourhood Team from Bethnal Green East.
How to combat ASB
Register with OWL, which is the police mailing list to get surveys directly from police so that you can take part and explain to police directly what the problem is. They send these around every 3 months.
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.
The road was closed at 12 noon so that the tables could be placed onto the road and prepared for the street party.
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.
