8 portacabin work units for rent (1 will probably be rest facility for TfL) - portacabin as TfL may need them to be moved
Public realm improvements incl large green/play area to east
Air quality issues but more trees & vegetation on site compared to current car park will help

I was watching the Jurassic World movie last night but switched off to read tweets from the Labour selection meeting that chose Apsana Begum as the next MP for Poplar & Limehouse
Who knew a Labour selection meeting was more exciting then dinosaurs chasing people?
1/
But the whole process process has been a tragedy
Poplar & Limehouse is the 29th safest seat in country for Labour, so they can pick the most experienced, capable person to be in government (or more likely hold government to account)
Pictures are all from tweets from last night

@FitzMP share of the vote in last 3 elections was;
2017: 67%
2015: 58%
2010: 40%
Labour NEC knew this probably meant they could pick anyone & they would still win
They did

"The population of the UK is projected to increase by 3.0 million (4.5%) in the first 10 years of the projections, from an estimated 66.4 million in mid 2018 to 69.4 million in mid 2028" ONS
73% of growth will be international migration, 27% births
1/
ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
Much of that population growth will prob. be in London
East London I suspect will see most of that growth (50% of my residents like me born abroad)
London Plan tried to push more development to outer Boroughs but inspectors think that is undeliverable
2/
 standard.co.uk/news/london/sa…
That means east London Boroughs like Newham, Greenwich, Tower Hamlets will remain main focus of new development
New IoD & S Poplar OAPF has these growth scenarios
Base 31,000 new homes
or
High 38,000 "
or
Max 49,000 "
Pressure will be on us to deliver maximum numbers

Today in pulp I'm looking at Penguin Books from 1966. Why? Because that's the year they ditched the Marber Grid and brought in Alan Aldridge as art director to spice up their fiction covers!

Let's see how he did...
Boswell's #London Journal: 1762-1763, edited by Frederick A Pottle. Penguin Books, 1966. Cover by Alan Aldridge.
Kiss Kiss, by Roald Dahl. Penguin Books, 1966. Art by Alan Aldridge.

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.”
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”

If you are interested in #AirPollution and health scroll down this thread #AirQuality #BreatheLife
#AirPollution is considered the most important environmental risk causing 1 in 8 premature deaths. That counts 6.5 million per year.
At least 80% of the world population is exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution. Lack of #AirQuality data could cause underestimations
