Hijab Arches Update

Plans by Tower Hamlets Council to build two hijab-shaped arches at either end of Brick Lane, as part of a £1.85m "cultural trail", prompted 128 objections and not a single message of support. So, does the Council scrap its plans? No, it intends to hold another “community consultation”. This is one of the ways in which councils waste our money. Once some smart-alec has sold councillors on a daft idea, they keep holding consultations until they get the answer they want! This is Democracy?
