Meet the newly formed Globe Town Steering Committee on Saturday 30th June 2018 on the Globe Town Market Square around noon.
There is a possibility to join this committee for anyone working, living, shopping in Globe Town.
Yesterday’s meeting of the Parkview Residents Association introduced us to our new community support officer from Tower Hamlets Homes and also the Roman Road Trust.
There is also a Friends of Meath Gardens Support Group, that has a page on Facebook. Most of those voluntary organisations rely on support from volunteers.
Much discussion was held around the Chest Hospital development, whereby the new consultation round ends on 28. June 2018.
Concerns were raised that the longer the site stays undeveloped the more it falls into decay and that is not good for our neighbourhood. Residents can make a case for or against support of the new housing development from Crest Nicholson on the current Tower Hamlets Planning Application website.
There are many submissions on this development including
Please look at the building plans and consider the full effects of the site staying vacant for a prolonged period of time. It cannot support our community if the site stays vacant for years.
Our residents are cordially invited to participate in the Community Day of Hackney Aquatics that will be held at the London Fields Lido.
From 3pm till late on Saturday 30. June 2018
Roll up, roll up and come along and swim if you want. Anyone can swim for a £5 donation. It would be great if we could altogether beat the 7.000 length required to equal the Thames.
Hackney Community Day on 30 June 2018, at the Hackney Lido from 3pm
There will be
Hackney Aquatics want to split the proceeds of the day between the North London Hospice and the Club Access Fund. The Club Access Fund helps swimmers who are keen to swim but have problems finding the cost.
A huge thanks to all my neighbours who already generously donated for my granddaughter Madison to swim 5km at the Lido but she will also in the morning swim 3km at the London Open Swimming Championships* at the Surrey Quays. A mammoth undertaking for the good of the club.
All sponsors are most welcome to check with Hackney Aquatics whether their generous donations actually arrived at the club after the 30. June. If you do not meet me before and want to help but cannot come on the day please try to donate online.
*Your donation will not fund this competition but only the sponsored swim at the Lido.
Three local schools’ art adorned the scaffolding around the former Chest Hospital development site.

Talk & workshop at 7.30pm at the Glasshouse Community Centre
LIVING PLASTIC-FREE: HOW TO SAVE MONEY AND SAVE THE PLANET
You sort your recycling. You take your reusable bag when you go shopping. You want to do more, but you just don’t know what, or how, and you don’t have the time to research everything you could be doing. In this fun, friendly workshop Lizzy will share with you some of the tips and resources she has discovered from reducing her non-recyclable waste over the last two years. You will develop awareness of your own habits and feel more confident making more environmentally-friendly choices every day. And along the way we’ll bust some myths and discover how being green can even be cheaper and more convenient.
