Tower Hamlets Council in inner city East London must withdraw totally its support for all aspects of the Crossrail hole Bill, now in the UK parliament awaiting passage after formalities of the 'select committee' 'scrutiny'.

The demand was reinforced at a powerful demonstration held in the Hanbury Street London E1 at 'lunchtime' on Thursday 22 September 2005 when the campaign group KHOODEELAAR published a detailed list of demands on the local council.

Campaigners have now written o the current ‘leader’ of Tower Hamlets Council Michael Keith asking him to confirm his alleged agreement with the campaigners that the Crossrail hole MUST not be dug in the East London inner city borough of Tower Hamlets at all.

Other demands put to Michael Keith included the call on his to resign if he would not publish the full contents of the communications that he – Michael Keith- had had in the name of Tower Hamlets council with the promoters of Crossrail over the past five years.

Campaigners are also preparing a series of legal actions including against 'Tower Hamlets Councillor' Michael Keith and against identifiable employees of Tower Hamlets council alleging deception over Crossrail.
