Just what is happening to London
I am 80yrs old and cannot believe the changes planned.
I have enjoyed visiting places I once loved going to.
The planners and people with money do not live or work in areas about to be destroyed by these horrendous developements that I feel unable to stop.

I have just been reading an article by Secretary of State Robert Jenrick in which he says “As Housing Secretary, I want to play my part by putting local people at the forefront of decision-making and giving them a greater say in the development of their neighbourhoods. That way, buildings can reflect the identity of their communities.”

What better place to put this into practice than in Shoreditch??

He also has the radical idea that beauty should be a positive consideration in the planning process – wouldn’t it be fantastic if that actually happened…

I’ve objected as advised. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
All the best.
Chris.

In reply to paul loften. The Boundary Estate is named after the boundary of Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

I wholeheartedly support this objection. Though living in the country I frequently visit Spitalfields to visit family, and the developments in the City fill me with horror. I very much hope you receive enough significant backing to resist this plan and promote your ADMIRABLE project.

A very apt name “Boundary”. I wonder who thought it up? In effect its the boundary to the area in London where working people can vote and decide their future. Who works and lives in the City? Who is there who can vote for its future? More and more ghastly buildings that cant be opposed. Its the boundary of democracy. Young people can no longer live and work in London and so they are trying to stretch the boundary to build millionaire homes for international investors because they can no longer build within the boundary that they have created to exclude us.

I’d be very happy to do all I can to support the campaign to stop this horrendous monster…

It would be a tragedy if the Goodsyard was turned into another soulless high rise development like Paddington Basin which is horrible!!

There is so much scope for something really imaginative to happen which could act as an inspiration for a new way of urban development, and which could actually work for the local population rather than uncaring international capitalists.

Good luck North Weavers!
