Dear all, Thank you for your continuous support and help in keeping this important issue on top of mind and on the agenda of the decision makers and the press. No other LLDC project in recent years has seen such mobilised opposition - communities, politicians, developers, educators - all working together to stop this massive spoke in the wheel of the regeneration of East London and the Olympic Park. January 24th is fast approaching and yet the applicants and their representatives seem determined to push these factories through, by hook or by crook - even going as far as issuing public threats about withdrawing support to East London regeneration if the applications aren't approved. Here's what you can still do to help: 1. Show your support by leaving thoughtful comments in the petition 'Comment Section' - the more comments, the better! 2. Help spread this petition to as many people as possible in the area - everyone in East London is affected, and should have a say! 3. Write, call or email your local Cllr, and ask that they vote 'NO' on January 24th. 4. Write directly to the LLDC to express your concern and objection to the projects at planningenquiries@londonlegacy.co.uk 5. If you wish to attend the committee vote on the 24th, please drop us an email at contact@opcrd.org and we will try and arrange entry pass for you. We would like to say a big heartfelt "Thank you!" to the following people: Councillor Terence Paul, LB Newham GLA Member Unmesh Desai, LB Newham Jeremy Judge and Jess Hughes - Inspiring teachers & educators at School 21, Newham Mayor John Biggs, LB Tower Hamlets Mayor Sir Robin Wales, LB Newham We will keep you informed as things progress, Happy new year 2017, Hanan
