NO LOCAL DEMAND for a Whitechapel CrossRail hole/s station

NO LOCAL DEMAND for a Whitechapel CrossRail hole/s station
We the undersigned businessmen and women and traders and small business persons on the Whitechapel Road London E1 and the undersigned customers who depend for our economic, community and life on the present Whitechapel Road community market and the businesses are very concerned at the proposals for the Crossrail hole plan that, if allowed by the UK Parliament the legislative go-ahead, will seriously adversely affect us and our families in this part of the East London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Many of us will lose what we have built after lifetimes of struggle against odds of all kinds. The devastation and dislocation contained in the CrossRail hole plan will make many of us practically destitute. We support the written and the published representations made against these Crossrail hole Bill proposals to the prompter [the UK Department for Transport] over the past furs years and during 2006 and in the formal objections ['petitions' as represented in principle in the formal document put to the 'House of Lords’ on 30 January 2008] to the UK parliament by Khoodeelaar! the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill. We support the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill. We support the Khoodeelaar! Campaign’s call to the UK Parliament to scrap the present CrossRail Bill and to ask the UK Govt in the context of our opposition to the CrossRail hole Bill, to take into actual, active and transparent account the genuine transport and the economic, environmental needs, preferences and priorities of the people in the Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Stepney and Bethnal Green in the East End of London including those of the people in and of the other communities and ordinary parts of London. We support this way forward rather than accepting an imposed plan such as the present CrossRail hole plan which has not been designed for meeting the needs of people of, in and from the East End of London or in any demonstrable response to the ordinary economic, community life in the East End of London. We strongly support the Khoodeelaar! Campaign demand that the local Tower Hamlets Council recognises the needs of the community businesses, traders and customers and those of the community in the Brick Lane, Whitechapel Stepney and Bethnal Green area and to represent the truth of our needs and meet those needs instead of following the agenda of Big Business. _

We confirm that in our view and knowledge the existing transport facilities linking Whitechapel and the rest of the London E1 area with other parts of London is adequate and that we do not have any need for a superfluous structure to be imposed here. We oppose the imposition of noise, pollution, disruption, dislocation and devastation that Crossrail hole plan will cause to us and we will continue to support the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against attacks by Crossrail and the agenda that is behind the CrossRail hole plan. _We call on the UK Parliament and the UK Govt to stop the Crossrail hole plans that will make the East End of London even more deprived than it already is. We say STOP MAKING THE EAST END OF LONDON poorer. SCRAP THE CROSSRAIL hole attacks agenda. SCRAP the CROSSRAIL hole plan NOW!



There is no demand from local people in Whitechapel for a CrossRail hole station there. as khoodeelaar! has shown over the past four years, the promoters of the CrossRail hole plot agenda wanted to abuse the ‘plight’ of the institutionally and policy-deprived ‘east end of London’ to make just under one thousand million pounds [at 2004-2005 prices] for big business by plotting the CrossRail alignment in a way that it would go through Whitechapel. _The ‘benefits’ would accrue to big business, in Canary Wharf and so on. Not to the local people in Whitechapel. _The same tactic of using the ‘deprived local community’ to make apparently ‘beneficial’ words and promises, has been used for centuries by profit-grabbing, big business looters of the local economies all over the place. _‘Here’ and ‘abroad’. _Just as the pushers and touts of the present CrossRail hole plot have duped some usable institutionalised ‘ local council-heads’ in south London via the ‘local council’ there, to peddle their Crossrail hole plotter line. _But ordinary people got to see through the scam and started to make loud noise. _Result is that the private housing business promoter has changed tack in order to keep the CrossRail hole station [in south London] included in the scam…
