Tower Hamlets Council, 'representing' some of the UK's most
socially deprived parts, is embroiled in probably the hottest political confrontation to be found this side of the 4 May 2006 local elections. This is over the Council's promotion of the Crossrail scheme. The Crossrail schme - dubbed by Khoodeelaar! as 'the Crossrail hole Bill'- includes a big and devastating hole to be dug bang in the middle of the world famous Brick Lane area. To confound the problems, the Blaired Tower Hamlets Council has been making cash overtures to entice protesting community members away from the stand against Crossrail hole. Khoodeelaar is today [Monday 20 February 2006 – at 1400 Hrs GMT] publishing the legal notice it is serving on the Council warning that High Court action will follow unless the Council stops the bribing activities.
