TAKE A MOMENT TO HELP SAVE HACKNEY WICK AND ITS CREATIVE PERSONALITY BY SUPPORTING ITS BID TO BECOME A CONSERVATION AREA!!

Hackney Wick and Fish Island is home to the largest concentration of artists anywhere in Europe.

The planning department (LLDC) is trying to save this area by marking it as a conservation area.

''A conservation area is a place with a special historic interest, buildings and streets which the council protects (or designates). It is important that we keep the character and look of these areas.''

Help this area from becoming another soulless residential area like Canary Wharf.

The LLDC are under severe pressure from property developers and their lobbyists and simply need emails to get the measure passed.

HELP THE COUNCIL PROTECT THIS IN THE FACE OF PRESSURE FROM THE PROPERTY DEVELOPERS.

WE HAVE UNTIL JANUARY 8TH 2014 TO DO THIS!

The proposed increase to the currently protected conservation area can be viewed here:

Dear Anthony Hollingsworth,

I am writing in support of the proposed extension of The Hackney Wick and Fish Island Conservation Area.

This area is of great historic interest.

Yours faithfully,
