I was just reading some of your comments and honestly it is so heartbreaking to think about Mary and everyone else just losing their history like that. I have been spending so much time digging through old planning documents and trying to figure out who actually makes these calls because the lack of transparency is just wild.

I honestly never thought we would reach this level of momentum and reading through the stories everyone is leaving has really made me tear up while drinking my lukewarm coffee. It feels like the tide is finally turning on these demolition plans (about time if you ask me) and knowing so many people care about Mary and her neighbors gives me a lot of hope that we might actually pull this off.

Greedy developers. Stratford has changed enough as it is. Let the residents stay in the homes they worked for!
My family grew up here. You cant just knock down homes because you want a new campus. Stop the destruction.
Ridiculous project. These people have lived there for decades and have real community roots. Leave them alone.
42 years!! How can they even think about throwing Mary out of her own house. Disgraceful.
SAVE THE ESTATE. NEWHAM COUNCIL NEEDS TO LISTEN FOR ONCE.
