I have written to the council planning dept twice about this and have had no reply. Was this demolition legal, did it require planning permission, if so was it granted and why? <br /><br />I fear that the owner read the draft conservation area document and decided to act quickly...foundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00864218266214314223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-74082440577149460462009-08-02T18:20:01.543+00:002009-08-02T18:20:01.543+00:00...closed in 1994 and was demolished two weeks ago......closed in 1994 and was demolished two weeks ago, unfortunately.Africa-in-3-minuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565589257834852179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-72913160935058911672007-05-15T12:04:00.000+00:002007-05-15T12:04:00.000+00:00I'm quite amazed by this post, and the Labour in H...I'm quite amazed by this post, and the Labour in Haggerston blog in full.<BR/><BR/>As an established promoter who works within communities to enable young people to pick up instruments and do something positive in life, I was initially attracted to Shoreditch and Hackney. After reading the views of this blog, I can only come to the conclusion that my work would be a waste of time.<BR/><BR/>I have never experienced anti-social behaviour in the many times I have visited Shoreditch, and instead have found myself surrounded by creative, fun-loving and well behaved people. The good work these young people do for the community should not be underestimated, especially when you bear in mind that the bars and clubs of Shoreditch are being spoken about in publications as far afield as the New York Times.<BR/><BR/>Until I read this blog I was under the belief that Hackney Council supported its connections to art, music and fashion, and realised it's importance to local businesses and tourism. Sadly, it turns out I am mistaken.Principiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240030316571910877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-54715209545739235482007-05-14T12:00:00.000+00:002007-05-14T12:00:00.000+00:00Do you really understand the importance of Shoredi...Do you really understand the importance of Shoreditch club scene to young londonnners?<BR/>Enjoying a good night out always seem to be against the politicians' agenda, who would prefer to see a nice Notting Hill type of area rather than the excisting Hoxton type.<BR/>Using drugs as a reason for closing clubs is just an excuse (or all clubs in London should be closed) and this is just an Anti-youth agenda!Nicolalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896210671861127332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-10442066272957952812007-05-12T06:41:00.000+00:002007-05-12T06:41:00.000+00:00why is that good?why is that good?DAVE BONEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207525118627449541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-83701258020916487722007-01-08T15:37:00.000+00:002007-01-08T15:37:00.000+00:00Good for you for responding to the grafitti, and m...Good for you for responding to the grafitti, and making the points you do about picking the wrong target. I don't agree with the graffiti, but, unlike Government policy on anti-social behaviour, I don't believe its the curse of the devil to graffiti, especially on what is a free advertising board. I do find it quite interesting that you've chosen to respond to the graffiti, and must congratulate you on taking the (albeit wrong) view seriously.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118523458609488659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-40180643313164532192007-01-08T15:30:00.000+00:002007-01-08T15:30:00.000+00:00Its great that the redevelopment is finally gettin...Its great that the redevelopment is finally getting the ministerial attention it deserves. We residents of Haggerston West have suffered for far too long. I'm lucky only to have waited for 4 years for the redevelopment, but know of many who have been waiting for 10 years and more.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly back the points made in your blog, and hope that they are taken seriously in the coming months when we all hope a positive decision can be reached and the residents can finally be balloted on the proposals.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118523458609488659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-13498785374652664002006-12-11T10:37:00.000+00:002006-12-11T10:37:00.000+00:00As a Haggerston resident as well as councillor I a...As a Haggerston resident as well as councillor I appreciate the extent of the problem. However a great deal is being done - I will continue to press for more resources and better results but in recent months the following has been happening:<br /><br />Evidence has been gathered by officers (and myself with my digital camera) and the council have written to the following venues notifying the owners that officers will seek reviews of their licence in accordance with the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003. I'd rather not name the bars here but if you contact me by email I'll give you the list. <br /><br />The council are also pursuing a number of businesses which are located outside of the Borough. In those cases, they have started preparing cases for prosecution where appropriate and have notified the Local Authorities in which they are based.<br /><br />My understanding is that Hackney South Socialist Worker have also been contacted regarding their activities.<br /><br />There is also an active programme of removal which is an essential if slightly thankless task at the moment.<br /><br />So I share your frustration but things are slowly beginning to happen. I'm also pressing to find out whether the ASBO approach of Camden can be adopted here.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683858141797726265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-32885735515109870502006-12-11T10:26:00.000+00:002006-12-11T10:26:00.000+00:00"...Hackney Council, whose officers rightly take a..."...Hackney Council, whose officers rightly take a dim view of vandals". Unfortunately this doesn't extend to the Council actually doing anything to actively prevent or minimise fly-posting in Hackney.<br /><br />This is a case in point - it's clear who's posting these, and there's photographic evidence that the posters are being put up. So, rather than tut-tutting about it, you could encourage the Council to take out ASBOs against persistent fly-posters - it has worked in Camden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-59447025488361226052006-12-08T20:55:00.000+00:002006-12-08T20:55:00.000+00:00sounds like an interesting meeting, do you know ab...sounds like an interesting meeting, do you know about any other meetings they are having?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-41631704256360832152006-12-08T09:43:00.000+00:002006-12-08T09:43:00.000+00:00You sound just like pc plodYou sound just like pc plodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-42263731106496618792006-11-01T12:36:00.000+00:002006-11-01T12:36:00.000+00:00Probably unfair to lump the beach idea with dog bu...Probably unfair to lump the beach idea with dog buses - point taken. It is sad that young people are so concerned with their own safety - they also mentioned speeding around estates as a concern. I'm glad that we are putting door entry sytems in every block that wants one and fighting for 20mph zones across Haggerston.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683858141797726265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637014.post-89023262320760122042006-11-01T12:31:00.000+00:002006-11-01T12:31:00.000+00:00I think a beach in the park is an excellent idea -...I think a beach in the park is an excellent idea - although maybe less new Labour than increased security, so I can see why the councillor labelled it "left field".
