Kieran, I appreciate your enthusiasm for Canning Town but isn't assuming York Hall has "bitten the dust" a little premature?

 

Anyone wondering about the delays needs to ask questions and push to get meaningful answers at the User Meeting.

 

email your contact details to James Bowden,York Hall General Manager at James.Bowden@GLL.ORG asking to get put on the invite list.

 

As Glyn suggests lets remain vigilant and feedback to the group any information on the planning policy we can get hold of.

 

Regards Mark

Of course it's been earmarked for residential use,
have you not heard of olympics 2012, anyone still
wondering about the 'delays' needs to wake up and
smell the coffee! Unfortunately another one bites the
dust, by far the best facility of its kind I have been
to. If anyone would like an alternative please try the
canning town baths, the group for this is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/docklands-turkish-baths
Some good photos taken there in the gallery courtest
of moi, another new gallery will be added soon.
Cheers
Kieran
