🧵 Brick Lane Under Attack
A response by the Save Brick Lane campaign to a defamatory video that has been posted anonymously to Youtube.
MYTH: The video claims that the Spitalfields & Banglatown Forum will “cleanse the area of ethnic minorities’.

FACT: In reality, the plan will provide a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community. Image
MYTH: Claims that we are all middle-class property owners of million-pound houses

FACT: Members of the Forum & of SBL incl 7 independent orgs: @nijjormanush the Bengali EastEnd HeritageSociety, @EastEndPSociety @houseofannetta @EastEndTrades @thegentleauthor @SpitalfieldsT

This evening the Development Committee of @TowerHamletsNow voted IN FAVOUR of the Truman Brewery redevelopment proposal by a margin of 1. 🧵
Today's decision ultimately came down to the votes of just two Labour councillors : Cllr @Kevin_J_Brady and Cllr @KaharChowdhury - both of whom sided with profiteers this evening. Councillior Leema Qureshi was not allowed to vote because she was self isolating at home.
The Save Brick Lane campaign, on the other hand, has engaged & mobilised hundreds of locals & residents in and around Brick Lane. It is they that have made it clear to us that they reject this proposal, & resent politics as usual under Tower Hamlets Council.

More than a year ago, the Truman Brewery thought that this proposal would glide through the council during the height of a pandemic. 🧵
Since this campaign began a year ago, we have collected thousands of objections, gained the support of more than 140 traders & businesses on Brick Lane, knocked on more than hundreds of doors and alerted supporters around the world 🌎
We have built a coalition that has kept Tower Hamlets Council and the Mayor on edge.

This campaign is a clear expression of the people versus the profiteers. ✊🏽
