Latimer Chest Hospital consultation
Get involved with the new proposals to finally build onto the former London Chest Hospital site, which is empty since almost a decade now. Many residents are fed up looking at the boarded up area, which attracts graffiti and looks unsightly. It affects people’s moods because neglected areas are always downing people’s spirits.
See the Latimer Developer’s site for all the details of the consultation.

Houseboats
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.
- Smoke control
- Open fires and wood burning stoves
- ready to burn legislation
- Canal Boat users
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
Neighbourhood Watch Signs
We are delighted to announce that Tower Hamlets Council and Tower Hamlets Police are sponsoring Neighbourhood Watch signs for external attachment onto lamp posts.
Soon we plan to erect signs in Sewardstone Road, St. James’ Avenue and Old Ford Road.
If you wish to help with the attachment of the signs to lamp posts, please contact us.

Garden maintenance
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.
