The Corporation of London is a rich unaccountable authority that manages housing regeneration funds and supports schemes that mine the value of successful communities and hand them over to corporate interests. The latest project is a rail infrastructure scheme called Crossrail which will enable City interests to take over the Spitalfields area in London and displace a large immigrant community. The man behind this is ex-lawyer Adrian Montague, the man behind British Rail and major health and educational privatisation.
Crossrail is a rail infrastructure project linking the City of London and Canary Wharf with each other and Heathrow. It benefits rich city law and accounting firms and banks as well as making a lot of money for construction firms and developers. The catalyst behind the scheme, the Corporation of London uses its publicity machine to support the project by pretending to fund the scheme initially but once gaining Government support it moves in to request the taxpayer to bank roll the scheme.
Crossrail was a joint venture project between Transport for London (TfL) and the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA). The SRA was created by ex-lawyer and principal architect of privatisation in Britain Adrian Montague. This man has been rewarded time and time again for costing the taxpayers millions while being given massive bonuses. Search Google and see how many hospitals and socially beneficial projects this man has ruined.
Many public transport schemes permits rail interests like the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) and Network Rail to compulsory purchase land to sell it off to developers like Stanhope and Hammersons. Many people had learned how to use the legal system to make sure that communities were protected. But the Government then introduced a mechanism called the hybrid bill to ride roughshod over the East End.
Crossrail plans to dig a huge shaft with a tunnelling and waste transfer point in the heart of Brick Lane and Spitalfields were not known about in the East End of London until it was effectively too late. It published materials in a variety of foreign languages except the languages of certain areas like Spitalfields where many people speak Bengali and Somali. The result was that these people were removed from the process. The normal modus operandi of these projects is to claim a public infrastucture project will benefit the community such as The East London Line Extension but this is false and once a whole area has been demolished, developers like Hammersons buy the land cheaply waiting for a suitable opportunity to build high density office blocks.
Local council Tower Hamlets headed by a body of corrupt Labour councillors such as Leader Helal Abbas and planning officers such as Owen Whalley ensured the community were kept in the dark and supported plans to compulsory purchase the area. They have more recently unveiled plans to turn Spitalfields into an area with more high density office blocks than Canary Wharf. They ensured the community were kept in the dark by forgetting to provide the names of local groups.
The Greater London Assembly led by Mayor of London Ken Livingstone, who has been coached by previous City head New Zealander Judith Mayhew to support schemes that will obviously result in displacing poor communities. Livingstone, Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes are all taken up by the City of London's riches built on exploitation and destruction of the social fabric are supporting Crossrail even though it will turn working class and immigrant areas of the East End into construction sites for at least the next ten years. Local Labour member John Biggs is the member for the City, Newham and Tower Hamlets has hardly any support in Newham and Tower Hamlets communities which he has betrayed but yet he still gets to represent them as they are included as part of the City.
In short, the Government led by Tony McNulty, his wife and chief executive of Tower Hamlets Council Christine Gilbert, Tower Hamlets Council Labour councillors, GLA Labour, City, East and Newham GLA Labour member John Biggs are collectively working to remove the East End community from their homes.
