8pm on the 16 – 19 July 2009
Tickets – £5 (cash only)

The performance will last approximately one hour.

There will be a bar at the gallery open before and after the performance.

A new piece for performance scripted, devised and improvised by the cast and crew.

Initiated by a mistranslation of Dante, this performance stages an epic journey of the brother and sister protagonists of a forgotten nineties American pre-teen movie through the supermarket part of a Chinese sex theme park on the dawn of its demolition, which culminates in a life-or-death game of Deal or No Deal.

Performed by

ED RICE, KATE O’CONNOR, PABLO NAVARRO-MACLOCHLAINN and IAIN MAITLAND

CCTV & ASB

Yesterday evening at the Residents Liaison Group meeting, Wayne Hylton announced that estate mangers will now be allowed access to recorded footage in order to investigate and collect evidence of all types of ASB including so called “low-level” ASB incidents that may not interest the police.

This change of policy is as a direct result of research I did into "data protection" the consequent clarification I received from the ICO about “data protection”.

Cllr. Linda Kelly was instrumental in making sure our arguments and info got to the right desks, then was heard & acted upon. Her help & support throughout is greatly appreciated.

Hackney Homes & Pinnacle deserve thanks for listening and then implementing these changes as well.

The new policy has yet to be published, but as soon as we have anything further, it will be posted here.

The Old Tram Depot
38-40 Upper Clapton Road

Last year’s application was refused largely on the grounds of high density and tiny box like accommodation.
Much of the new design is even higher density.

Leabridge is the 41st most deprived ward in London, so increasing population density places more pressure on facilities, services and green spaces – and at a time when huge cuts are being made.

----

LOCAL STATS & FACTS

In fact, much of Hackney falls into the Multiple Index as being among the 20% most deprived in the country, with Leabridge itself being, as I say, ranked as the 41st most deprived in London.

That is, just about the most deprived of the most deprived - nationally!

LESS GREEN SPACE:

Leabridge has approx 23% green space – London as a whole has over 38%.

MORE DOMESTIC BUILDINGS:

Leabridge has over 16% domestic buildings, London has just over 8%.

----

But we do have a

YOUNGER than nationally average population
and a
BETTER EDUCATED population

with at least 31% of people having at least a first degree (level4/5)
compared with less than 20% nationally.
