Lutfur Rahman has taken the most extreme, undemocratic and dangerous decision available to him this evening. He has decided to rip out all the walking and cycling infrastructure in Bethnal Green.
This is not the end. We know we have public support for our cause and the overwhelming evidence too.
With the advice of our lawyers, we will monitor the legality of what the council has done. Our Crowd Justice page is open for donations. The more we receive, the more ready we are to act as necessary to protect our safer streets.

Local residents, workers and supporters, - please join us for a protest TODAY to protect our safe streets from the council:
TIME: 4:45-6pm
PLACE: Outside the town hall 🏛️ in Whitechapel
Bethnal Green is thriving with less traffic, cleaner air and safer streets. The council wants to take that away. The decision is being made TODAY.
#SaveBethnalGreen, #SaveourSaferStreets

Thanks all @AisArchitecture @mhairimcvi @rewildmystreet@ArchiBarac Stephen Kite & Charles Drozynski. Generosity at many scales, of people space & institutions. Community consultations & rewilding city streets occupy the space of generosity. Small bits add up to big changes.
Looking forward to speaking about #rewildmystreet as part of tomorrow's online event "AAD Sessions: Generosity and Architecture" https://t.co/tZR2GqSxGK @Eventbrite
