@soxgnasher The Eastway cycle track was a valuable place, erased by the Olympics vandalism

Tower Hamlets approved the application to dismantle the gasholders last night by 7:1 votes. This means they will be removed, put in storage with frankly no guarantee that they will come back to decorate 2 blocks of luxury flats.

Please watch the Tower Hamlets strategic development committee meeting at 6pm today where the Gasholders planning application will be decided. https://t.co/gzJKtPfByN

@th_puru Puru, Please watch and share this video about the gasholders https://t.co/KyFsm6Kcee

@Zwrz No we don’t - there should be green space when they build these flats.

[E End Waterway Group @EEWGroup]

@LucindaDraws @TowerHamletsNow We hope councillors making the decision will see that the site would work so much better FOR ALL by leaving one gasholder empty. But they must refuse the application for this to happen. @MayorJohnBiggs

Developer’s heritage advice plays down the gasholders’ significance: eg cover photo of a lamp post and pizza joint ! #MontagueEvans @SAVEBrit @cockneycampaign

[E End Waterway Group @EEWGroup]

@MalcolmBacchus @justspace7 @LewishamCouncil @Royal_Greenwich Thank you and sorry to hear. ‘St William’, aka the Berkeley Group, is a powerful force.

[E End Waterway Group @EEWGroup]

There are better ideas for preserving the gas holders in place, with more green space. And still profitable, viability study shows. Pls continue to sign petition https://t.co/k6f2dy2JAm

GASHOLDER SPECIAL 11 : our official letter of objection to the planning application. The gasholders' significance is deliberately undervalued by heritage agents Montagu Evans, echoed in Eng Heritage advice. https://t.co/iHJx4OrcZc
