Rejected petition Save Banglatown camp

More details

Save Banglatown Campaign - 14 Nov 2012

We, the undersigned are horrified to learn about the conservative party proposal to abolish the historic and cultural hub of the Bangladeshi community from the new ward map of Tower Hamlets.

Generations of the Bangladeshi community have historically settled and started businesses in the Brick Lane and Banglatown area contributing significantly to the British economy, including the curry industry.

This proposal is a smack in the face for thousands of Bangladeshis and non-Bangladeshis who have struggled and sacrificed to have Banglatown recognised in the map of Tower Hamlets.

We, call upon the mayor to take our concerns with the Boundary Commission and support our campaign to have Banglatown reinstated to Spitalfields & Banglatown ward.
