GILLETT SQUARE The Heart Of Dalston About To Be Ripped Apart

A planning application has been submitted to L.B. Hackney that will: - demolish the iconic Gillett Square market pods, home to some of Dalston's most valued traders - build on the middle of Gillett Square, East London's leading public space for community, culture and live music - socially cleanse hyperdiverse Gillett Square and sanitise central Dalston - cover the south side building in plastic cladding Please help to STOP the destruction of Gillett Square : - share on social media #SaveGillettSquare https://www.change.org/p/mayor-of-hackney-help-list-gillett-square-as-an-asset-of-community-value - email your objections to planningconsultation@hackney.gov.uk, phil@philipglanville.london, duncan.ayles@hackney.gov.uk (feel free to use/personalise the sample text below:) I object to planning application 2018/0792 because: - it removes and demolishes most of the prize winning and much loved market pods in the square (Winner of Design Week Award 2001, shortlisted for Hackney Design Award 2004) - it prevents the full completion of Gillett Square with an active Stamford Works frontage on the North side as agreed in the current Dalston Area Action Plan - it covers the Bradbury Street workspace in polycarbonate plastic cladding, making it look like a giant shed Time is ticking, you have till 7th May 2018 to register your objection. Your input is invaluable, so THANK YOU! HELP #SaveGillettSquare
