The latest on the potential closure of Leila’s:-
It needs as many people as possible from Tower Hamlets to sign the petition (see below).
The new rent has been set based on the rents in Redchurch Street. But Redchurch Street is different from Calvert Avenue. Calvert Avenue has a community feel to it.
The council should not be punishing success. Leila has helped the regeneration of Arnold Circus and the surrounding neighbourhood. The Council should – at the very least – look at a strategy for Calvert Avenue, given its importance to the area, not farm it out to a rackrenting agency.
Actually, they should consult Leila about the strategy.
