The council just confirmed the cobbles are safe and our history on Brick Lane stays intact. Keep an eye on local planning notices to make sure they stick to this promise.
Tower Hamlets wants to "smarten up" Brick Lane by covering its cobbles in tarmac for the Olympics.
Stop them ruining this historic and beautiful street - sign the petition to the council now!
The council is keeping quiet about their road plans but we are keeping the pressure on their offices. Email your local representative today to insist that our historic cobbles remain untouched. Do not let them pave over the character of this street.

Brick Lane is such an important place for people to find and embrace their culture and gentrifying it would destroy the beautiful mix of cultures there for everyone to love and enjoy.

It’s the homes of so many minorities and you want to kick them out to build shops. You will be stopping small business and ruining lively hoods for a new shopping centre

Why change brick lane entirely, just add the white-wash shops that you need to. There's literally no point in removing the flavour of bricklane, it has so much history and is a good tourist place. I think there'd be mode downsides than improvements if we changed brick lane. Don't do it for the sake of history and bengali cultures. #savebricklane #stopbricklanechanging #keepbricklaneculture #keepbengaliculture #bricklane #savebengaliculture #savebricklanebengaliculture #savebricklanecultures

The last thing we need in Brick lane is a shopping mall full of High St stores- the Truman Brewery site gives the area a point of difference and soul- unlike a large part of developed London

This is our heritage and our history that is being thoughtlessly damaged, a jewel in the ever-tarnishing crown that is London’s built and historical environment. Please think again!

Should be a conservation area not a development site!
We must protect the rich and diverse culture of our city not create a monoculture.
