Update from Geoff Juden:
A meeting of the steering committee recently met, agreeing in concert that a further public meeting be held early September north of the ward. We will let people know, soon as confirmed.
Further, it was agreed to request people who may be interested in having a Town Council in Wapping to put their names forward as potential members for the shadow council. People will then be able to addess issues of concern and receive answers.
The petition will soon be on line, plus an ability to sign will be in place in designated units. Information to follow shortly.
I have received information that the Shoreditch area is interested in our progress, thus will soon call a meeting of it’s own, for a local council. Other information received being The Isle of Dogs may be interested in our progress.
You have recently been informed by local press on monies being given to The Davenant Centre and Rich MIx, these venues having a controversial history. Tower Hamlets Council have a view alternative to the persons view on the street, I believe it is time for people to have a say in their area’s developement, it can only be good for democracy, which is sadly lacking in our borough.
Should you wish a better way of governance, a more local way of governance, you now have the chance. A Town Council for Wapping.
I urge you on behalf of all who are involved in The Town called Wapping, to sign the petition.
