Shoreditch is not City. It has been recently labelled 'City Fringe' in order to allow the glass temples of the City to colonise our area where many people live and work in buildings that are generally no higher than six storeys. There are listed buildings and Conservation areas, and a wealth of streetscapes with their own flavour. The encroachment of City offices and City apartments and City hotels will bring little employment to the deprived of the estates and back streets of Shoreditch. The youth and elderly of the area need better facilities, more and better maintained housing, and better schools. Local businesses and residents would be priced out of the area if the City encroaches too far. We locals are not against regeneration. Indeed we need and welcome imaginative and well designed new development. But glass cliff faces and shopping malls are not in keeping with Shoreditch – why not something more on the lines of Brunswick Square in Bloomsbury? And more green space?
