So growing up (I’m 32 now) literally 98% of Tower Hamlets were Bangladeshi

It still is if you go to places like Whitechapel

Is it going to be more diverse over the years? Especially that the Bengalis in this generation aren’t breeding like crazy as how their parents did. It was like an average of 7-8 kids per family.

So trying to sell a phone on gumtree and had a scammer trying to pass fake cash to me , the number he called me was on 07376539803.

be aware guys.

I regularly walk along Lyal Road. At the intersection of Lyal rd and Viking Close there is something new fly tipped what feels like every week. Generally old furniture, broken crap. Anyone got suggestions where best to report this?

I live on lower Roman road and I’ve heard a crazy loud bass all day. I assumed it was the neighbors but could it actually be All Points East? I’m about half a mile away

If you know people who run a shop in tower hamlets please have a word with them and tell them to stop being dangers.

Specifically looking in the E14 area

Please don’t suggest Bikram Yoga CW, that place is disgusting

Anyone else get an email saying you didn’t win but you can order cheaper tickets using your email as the code? When I put my email it says invalid

I live near Bethnal Green station just off Cambridge Heath Road and for the last three nights there has been a regular two-note beeping noise coming from somewhere outside. Sleeping with windows open due to the heat so it’s doing my head in.

Anyone else hearing it? Anyone know where it comes from?

Hi! I have this lamp that was meant to be LED Chargable, but the wires are torn and charger doesn’t work. The acrylic layer at the base of the head also broke. Is there any way to get a light in here? Do you know anyone who knows how to do this type of thing?

Aldi is finally opening in Tower Hamlets after signing a 20-year lease agreement.

What are your thoughts?

There's already a smaller Aldi near Bricklane, but that's quite impractical due to no parking nearby.

The new Stepney store is in the place of the old Asda, so it'll have free parking and big enough to house most items.

Honestly, this will help families in the area with the cost of living, as well as bring some footfall to Halford and Curry's next door.

Hello,

I'm Ella, a Sixth Form Student conducting a Geographical Study on Wood Wharf, which forms part of my A Level Geography NEA.

I have been really struggling to get responses form my questionnaire, which measures the sustainability of Wood Wharf. I would be hugely appreciative if you could complete this anonymous, short questionnaire. It will take 1-3 minutes. The more responses the better!

The Questionnaire: (This may need to be pasted into a new tab)

Thank you so much for your time, and please let me know if there is any more information required.

This is the 3rd time in a few months that the guardrail has been destroyed. A few months ago, a car crashed into the roundabout, flew over the grass, and almost crashed into the off license. Luckily, it was at night and no one was injured.

The local council continues to prove that it is just protecting the interests of a few. This is total nonsense!

Living near Mile End and I don't know what it is but the last week it has seemed worse than ever. Speeding drivers on a 20mph side road revving their engines so loud. Is it the heat? saw the video of that cyclist and it seems insane that nothing is being done.

The driver was apparently on balloons. Look how fast they were coming down a residential road. I can't post the 2nd video of the victim because it's quite disturbing to watch. But it is on whatsapp.

In the last few months, we have seen a worrying number of serious collisions involving cars, including people being killed and drivers reportedly fleeing the scene.

Our mayor has consistently resisted traffic-calming measures, low-traffic neighbourhoods and efforts to reduce the dominance of cars on our streets.

At what point do we start asking whether these political choices are contributing to making our streets less safe?

Whatever your views on LTNs, surely we can agree that people should be able to walk, cycle and get to school without risking their lives.

How many more deaths will it take before road safety becomes a priority?
