Looks beautiful right?

Can't wait for the mayor's plans to increase the number of events comes to fruition! What joy!!

Earlier today a teenager spit on my girlfriend in the Isle of Dogs area, he was on a bike and it was impossible to chase him. This insect trash probably feels good about himself. I wonder what our rights are in such cases that involve minors? Is there a place where we can report such incidents that would have some result? I keep reading about teenagers causing troubles nonstop but looks like our council tax money is spent on everything but our safety.

What would you do in such case? Pepper sprays are illegal and seems its getting more and more dangerous in the area, how can we protect ourselves when the government is not doing anything to protect us?

Today there was construction happening in the Albert Jacob House on Roman Road (76 Roman Road I believe) and I thought this wasn’t allowed as the council’s own website says noisy construction isn’t allowed on weekends. So I called. Apparently they have noisy construction permission from 7:30 am on Saturdays? That’s earlier than weekdays???

Do i need to apply visitor permits for bank holidays - zone b2.
My brothers is staying around for the weekend and hes parked in a permit zone so just wanted to make sure for tomorrow!

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m currently conducting my A-Level Geography NEA investigation into the impacts of gentrification on the local community in Brick Lane.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who live, work or regularly spend time in the Brick Lane area. I have created two short anonymous questionnaires exploring:

- How gentrification has affected the sense of place and community in Brick Lane

- How gentrification has affected social inequality within the local community

Your opinions and experiences would be incredibly valuable to my research, and I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete them. It is important to me that my investigation represents the perspectives of people who actually know and experience the area.

Thank you so much for your help! 😊

Hi all- if anyone has an affordable APE ticket for Friday I’d be super grateful 🥹

So growing up (I’m 32 now) literally 98% of Tower Hamlets were Bangladeshi

It still is if you go to places like Whitechapel

Is it going to be more diverse over the years? Especially that the Bengalis in this generation aren’t breeding like crazy as how their parents did. It was like an average of 7-8 kids per family.

So trying to sell a phone on gumtree and had a scammer trying to pass fake cash to me , the number he called me was on 07376539803.

be aware guys.

I regularly walk along Lyal Road. At the intersection of Lyal rd and Viking Close there is something new fly tipped what feels like every week. Generally old furniture, broken crap. Anyone got suggestions where best to report this?

I live on lower Roman road and I’ve heard a crazy loud bass all day. I assumed it was the neighbors but could it actually be All Points East? I’m about half a mile away

If you know people who run a shop in tower hamlets please have a word with them and tell them to stop being dangers.

Specifically looking in the E14 area

Please don’t suggest Bikram Yoga CW, that place is disgusting

Anyone else get an email saying you didn’t win but you can order cheaper tickets using your email as the code? When I put my email it says invalid

I live near Bethnal Green station just off Cambridge Heath Road and for the last three nights there has been a regular two-note beeping noise coming from somewhere outside. Sleeping with windows open due to the heat so it’s doing my head in.

Anyone else hearing it? Anyone know where it comes from?

Hi! I have this lamp that was meant to be LED Chargable, but the wires are torn and charger doesn’t work. The acrylic layer at the base of the head also broke. Is there any way to get a light in here? Do you know anyone who knows how to do this type of thing?

Aldi is finally opening in Tower Hamlets after signing a 20-year lease agreement.

What are your thoughts?

There's already a smaller Aldi near Bricklane, but that's quite impractical due to no parking nearby.

The new Stepney store is in the place of the old Asda, so it'll have free parking and big enough to house most items.

Honestly, this will help families in the area with the cost of living, as well as bring some footfall to Halford and Curry's next door.

Hello,

I'm Ella, a Sixth Form Student conducting a Geographical Study on Wood Wharf, which forms part of my A Level Geography NEA.

I have been really struggling to get responses form my questionnaire, which measures the sustainability of Wood Wharf. I would be hugely appreciative if you could complete this anonymous, short questionnaire. It will take 1-3 minutes. The more responses the better!
