No, this isn't a #landfill, in fact, this is right in front of the new #Whitechapel #TownHall. I have no words, except, we will need the piped piper in town soon!🤦‍♀️

[Tower Hamlets Labour Group @TH_Labour]

This is the state of Whitechapel this evening - Lutfur Rahman’s waste emergency is only getting worse.

Residents deserve better than this.
Residents deserve better than Lutfur Rahman and Aspire.

Bricklane has become an absolute tip, full of rubbish. Please arrange for immediate removal. Especially the situation in front of the Chist Church school is very bad, which has created a real danger for the children of the school.

Day four...

We share a poem by Rupi Kaur @rupikaur_ that goes unnamed. This poem is about reassuring us that it's okay to rely on our community when we're not at our best. Wise words...

[Helen New @helennew]

It's day three of Mental Health Awareness Week and our poem share.

Eleven by Tanya Markul is a poem that's succinct and thought-provoking. The pain we feel connects us to the world, we're not alone.
