Hi everyone


I recently came across The Good Gym - a project running in Tower Hamlets that pairs runners with isolated less-mobile people in their area. It helps people get fit (by providing a good reason to go for a run) and helps the person being visited (by providing them with some friendly human contact). There are also monthly group runs that include a community-focused activity, for example planting trees or tidying up community centres.


I?ve been talking to the people behind The Good Gym about extending the scheme to our area, and would be really interested to hear what other residents think of the idea. Would you be interested in joining a group run? Visiting someone in your area on a regular basis? Or maybe you could suggest a community centre, school or library who could benefit from the help of a group of willing runners?


Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
