Brick Lane's 'hijab gates' pushed through

Will the controversial gates set to stand at either end of Brick Lane get approved this Thursday?

Could Tower Hamlets get approval inspite of 158 objections and a slating from Tracey Emin who called them "bulky, ungainly and unnecessary".


The arches are set to form part of a £2million "heritage trail". But locals have a number of concerns from highlighting Islam over other faiths, to them looking like something from Disneyland.

They sound pretty pointless to me. When arts funding is under the lens shouldn't we be investing funds in projects that make more of a positive contribution?

Plus Spitalfields market has already been corporatised...leave Brick Lane alone.
