A good mix of face to face meetings at City Hall and getting out of the office this week!

I was very disappointed that they have discontinued the Oat Milk chocolate. I wrote to Whittaker's and they said they have heaps of vegan dark chocolate. But I don't want dark chocolate, I want a vegan milk chocolate. And I'm not even a vegan!

🚀 We're over 70% of the way towards our crowdfunder target!🙌🌟
A huge thank you to every single one of our supporters who have contributed to build this legal fighting fund to save our safer streets. 🤗
📅Since we submitted our claim in early December, there has been an exchange of legal submissions between our lawyers and Tower Hamlets Council.⚖️
This is the process by which the council sets out why a judge should dismiss our claim for judicial review and our lawyers explain instead why the judge should grant us a day at the High Court (aka substantive hearing). 🏛️
As of 15 January 2024, the court has all the documents in a bundle and we expect a judge to decide in the next month or two whether to grant us a substantive hearing.🤞 It is possible that we need to have a preliminary hearing first, or a judge can decide to grant the substantive hearing based on the bundle of documents. 📚
We will update as soon as we have clarity on the ongoing timetable.📢
We're not done yet, and we need YOUR support raising the remaining £20,000 to reach 100% to cover expected legal costs. 🌐💪
🙏 Please consider making a donation to support our cause and ensure justice prevails. Every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal. Thank you for standing with us! 💚💚💚

86 headteachers have written an open letter to Mayor Rahman, expressing deep concern over his decision to prioritize cars over student safety in Bethnal Green and urging him to reconsider.
The Mayor has consistently ignored vital input from schools.

Lutfur Rahman is tearing out cycle lanes, trees and public spaces in Bethnal Green.
He is ignoring doctors, schools and local residents who have pleaded with him not to bring heavy traffic back on minor roads.

Statement from @CllrSirajIslam on Mayor Lutfur Rahman’s decision to scrap TH LTN schemes:
Neil Thompson retweeted
Tonight, Lutfur Rahman did the unthinkable: decided that LTN schemes in Bethnal Green will be almost fully removed.
I made it clear in my question in the meeting that in doing so, he is disregarding the evidence, snubbing the majority in support of the LTNs, and plunging...

Delivery riders are the unsung heroes of our city. This article in @ELAdvertiser highlights the dangers that riders like Ahmed face and how bike lanes and traffic calming measures are crucial for their livelihoods and safety. @LutfurRahmanTH

In 13 years as Green MP, I've called out incompetent Ministers, challenged Government cowardice over #Brexit, demanded more affordable housing, helped secure ban on fracking, stood up for refugees – and always put #BrightonPavilion first. Some of my highlights in Parliament 👇📽️

In the council's consultation on scrapping Livable Streets, TfL were presented as being critical of the scheme when the complete opposite is true as this TfL letter now shows.
How were residents supposed to know the facts when @TowerHamletsNow misrepresented key evidence?
Neil Thompson retweeted
Tower Hamlets has the third lowest rate of car ownership in London. Yet Lutfur Rahman wants to turn small residential roads in Bethnal Green into relief valves for heavy traffic.
