But the Police wanted to make sure and on 1st September the Councils
1/
licensing committee will hear an application from the Police to revoke their license
The Police report justifying this is pretty graphic
Police report implies it is not just a management issue but that all such events not be allowed
See report here

Pics are from Police report, they end by saying
"This is an event that cannot be allowed to continue to operate in Tower Hamlets due to the risk involved and we therefore ask that the licence is revoked." which should happen 1st September

1/
Nationally, six deaths from COVID in children aged 14 years and below, none in TH

Last November Newham Council rejected a proposed 5,000 home development with 14 reasons for rejection
Located opposite Trinity Buoy Wharf in Silvertown
Mayor Sadiq Khan then called it in & last week his Deputy approved it with some minor changes
1/

Most of the 14 reasons for it to be rejected locally seem unresolved
Notably I have not seen any protests from local politicians who objected to Westferry Printworks being decided by central government against local wishes
But when the Mayor of London does the same, silence

Sadiq Khan has done this a number of times now (as has every Mayor of London)
It does mean that London authorities are conscious that the Mayor of London may over ride their decision which may make it less likely that they reject them
The scheme comes with a new DLR stn funded

Westferry Printworks update
Secretary of State has given 3 weeks to parties to respond to a number of questions
The questions are about things which changed after his decision letter 14th Jan so that evidence can be updated
Or parties can request re-opening inquiry
I had
1/
assumed another inquiry (but as the last one cost circa £1 million) parties may prefer to avoid that & just submit written responses
So in theory unless parties object & representations in by 1st Sept, then decision could be made by other Minister later this year
I have asked
2/
why letter does not name the Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Plan given that it now carries significant weight in planning applications and the Printworks is located in the Neighbourhood Plan area
