I have set my students the task of finding each of these marvellous paintings on Friday. I was worried the Crane, my favourite, would be missing.

The council have taken the hideous banner down. I work a few minutes walk away from the crame and was dismayed at the mayor’s lack of care…. We will have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t try to sneak it back up after the consultation period ends…thanks to Alternative London for breaking the story and for The Gentle Author’s articulate support…

Took me around a minute to complete after following the link and it counts as one objection.

If you put your name on the petition, even if there are thousands of other signatures, it only counts as one objection when it is delivered to planning.

You can register formal objections to the planning application for the banner by leaving your comments here http://bit.ly/KI2b1z

(I hunted him down and just spoke to him.)

I’ve already pointed out to people that the signage ought to be in FRONT of Brick Lane, such as even as far as on Commercial Street, not BEHIND it on Hanbury.
