Tower Hamlets has a novel historical past of welcoming folks and at a latest full council assembly, politicians unanimously got here collectively on my proposed movement with the mayor’s amendments that while we welcome the proposed relocation of the Chinese embassy, we additionally rise up towards the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) human rights violations.
The movement was first written by Cllr Wood, proposed by Cllr Golds, and seconded by me.
In the final 5 months I proposed it 3 times, altering the movement with calls to call roads the place the proposed location of the Chinese Embassy could be as Tiananmen Square, Tibet Hill, Uyghur Court and Hong Kong Road with out value to the area people and calling the council to ascertain what sort of potential collaboration the Chinese embassy in the UK is searching for with our faculties.
It ought to mirror our borough’s plans, which state: “We have a proud historical past of standing up for one another as one neighborhood and celebrating our variations.”
