Comments on: Standing Up To The Mayor Of London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/01/15/standing-up-to-the-mayor-of-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 13 May 2016 19:32:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Lisa Steinhauser-Gleinser https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/01/15/standing-up-to-the-mayor-of-london/#comment-1088702 Fri, 13 May 2016 19:32:29 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=142294#comment-1088702 Berlin wouldn’t be the city people & travellors enjoy most if in the late 80ies young students occupied the old houses in Kreuzberg and Schöneberg, now inner city, best places. There were hard fights with government & police. But today all were looking with respect to those who really fight for reconstruction and a generation of students worked and restored the houses with their own hands.
After 1989 a lot of investors, architects came to Berlin and now have a look what we have got: bad architecture around Potsdamer Platz, Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz.

We cannot allow this one man to get away with this when it affects so many so much. And yes I too have met Boris and spoken with him in the past when I thought he was a good Minister. I even have a few letters and photos his sent to me during his time at the Spectator. So for me to venture against Mr Johnson I do not take lightly. Politics has turned a dam good soul.

I am now very disappointed that he should turn his back on this situation and let a very important part of our heritage be destroyed. I do not understand why it is thought better to pull down these beautiful buildings with such history and replace them with new structures very like lots of other offices that can be seen anywhere. very disappointed.

How can you see such destruction of OUR Historical Buildings IN YOUR NAME!!!
YOU MUST BE STOPPED.

already done so much damage to London he just doesn’t seem to understand the
word ‘Conservation’ or he just doesn’t seem to care. Thank goodness his term in
office is nearly over before he can do any more damage.

Good luck with Norton Folgate please continue to keep us all posted

Let’s just hope the decision on NF and BGY can be postponed or appealed until then….

I do wish I could be down for the meeting but unfortunately I cannot… but am there in spirit. Fingers crossed and thanks to all for their great work in trying to save an important part of the great City.

I know a huge amount of work is involved and that there are many other people who will have given their unpaid time and effort to this.
Very well done to all. And HUGE thanks.
And fingers crossed for Monday.
