Very close I walk past there every day . Are there commercial units going on the ground floor?

I'd be surprised if one of them didn't include a supermarket 'metro/express' of some description. They seem to be buying into this shit very easily.

Our tenant board told Sainsburys to fuck off during the consultation for Haggerston estate. The developers looked at us like we were mad. 'That would be worth a great deal of money to the community' they said. We prefer to support our local independent shops was our response.

I was involved in a development in Lower Clapton, where the Tesco is originally William Hill wanted to put a bookies there, residents made a lot of fuss and they pulled out. The space was empty for a couple of years before Tesco went in.

Wondered why Wally Herbert's fish stall was closed when I went there a few weeks ago. Just seen on twitter Hackney council wanted to treble their rent. Gutted!! I travelled from Brixton to buy seafood there. Hard to find seafood stalls these days.

Yes. Been there 78yrs too

 

[blossie33]

Oh no!
It was there until recently I'm sure.

Edit to add - just had a quick search on Google but I can't see anything about them having closed.

It closed end of September.

 

[blossie33]

It closed end of September.

Oh dear, how sad after all those years

Completed, said very good all round

 

[marty21]

Sad, I didn't use it much but it was part of the furniture.

Edit to add - just had a quick search on Google but I can't see anything about them having closed.

I thought it was strange it was closed a few weeks ago. It's always open on a Sat. Then I found this tweet on google.

Disgusted to hear @hackneycouncil tripled the rent for Wally Herbert's fish shop, forcing this Hackney institution to close after 78 years.

The council are venal scum

 

[xsunnysuex]

The council are venal scum

For sure!!

 

[blossie33]

It's ridiculous - what are they going to do with the kiosk now - it's only really useful for the purpose of selling fish!!
A very short sighted decision by the council.

On a more positive note, the Black Music in Hackney event at Hackney Museum last night was really good. Lots of good input from the old and the young. Plan is to build this into an exhibition in about a year's time.

Man guilty over nightclub acid attack

What a stupid idiot this guy is - hope he gets a deserving sentence!

On a pedantic note, why do they keep saying the club is in Dalston when it's by Hackney Bus Garage near the Bethnal Green border?!

The jury found him guilty of five counts of GBH with intent, and nine counts of ABH against 14 people so that should be a hefty sentence coming right up for the cunt.

Hackney Gazette with its finger on the pulse as ever.

Tesco in Kingsland High Street could be demolished to make way for six-storey boutique hotel, cafe and gym

Notice there's an application in for a hotel and whatnot on the site of the Tesco on the corner of Kingsland High St/Sandringham Rd.

Can't see it on the council website but had a brief look at one of those lamppost notices when I was waiting for the bus the other day.

Really depressing. Unclear what's triggered all this (guessing some of these incidents are linked).

Nightingale Estate murder is latest attack in two-week eruption of violence across north Hackney

I walk through the Nightingale estate sometimes, it seemed to have improved from the notorious reputation it had in the 90s. Sad news.

Expect low double figures.

 

[GarveyLives]

don't know why they've pixellated the faces, being as the video's been widely circulated en clair so to speak

The latest development is disturbing:

"A coroner has ruled that two police officers involved with the restraint and arrest of Rashan Charles shortly before he died have the right to remain anonymous at his inquest ..."

Police officers granted anonymity at Rashan Charles inquest

The identities of the individuals involved in Rashan's death cannot be revealed at his inquest.​

5 out of 7. Reckon I'd blitz a bus routes one though (she says from a 76).
