The old Station on a bridge on Dlaston Lane was secretly knocked down behind hoardings by TFL earlier on this year. The Dalston theatre site is across the road on Roseberry Place and will be much sort after yuppie private flats 10 minutes from the city. Luckily barrats are building them so will be Decrepit in 10 years time<BR/>Did you know Hackney Council bought the theatre site off Tesco in teh 80's for a few million. Unbelievable Tesco giving up land. Probably thought couldn't make any money from alston peasantsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30150892.post-29244609057433122572007-07-09T18:04:00.000+01:002007-07-09T18:04:00.000+01:00The Spoofster writes ..."A derelict theatre or a t...<B>The Spoofster writes ...</B><BR/>"A derelict theatre or a tube station, which do you think people in Hackney want more?"<BR/><BR/>Poor Spoofster's knowledge of Hackney (and Dalston in particular) is pretty lousy. The Dalston Theatre was on a totally different plot of land to the proposed station. And the station is for overground trains, not the tube, surely?<BR/><BR/>Good job the Spoofster wasn't around when we were campaigning to refurbish the Hackney Empire and Sutton House (both were eyesores and vandalised, thanks to the Council)! He'd have knocked them down too - to build ugly tower blocks.<BR/><BR/>I wonder when he thinks the Ocean should be demolished? Or is he too getting a backhander to keep that on the backburner?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30150892.post-45339044013637763592007-07-09T17:18:00.000+01:002007-07-09T17:18:00.000+01:00That's what I say, Anon.

So why does your spoofster and his comrades still misprepresent that it was a choice of either a Dalston "tube" or the Dalston Theatre? Does he really believe that what Hackney people want is the Croydonisation of Dalston? The Council's own consultation showed that 95% wanted to save Dalston's character its historic architecture and have some affordable housing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30150892.post-81570402608121954662007-07-09T14:36:00.000+01:002007-07-09T14:36:00.000+01:00Damned right, spoofster!

Is it Cllr Jamie Carswell, Deputy Mayor of Hackney and <B>Cabinet Member for Housing</B> who is on three months gardening leave or Cllr Darren One-Man-Two-Votes-Scooter Parker? If it is the former, I hope this doesn't affect his £70,000 odd annual allowance + expenses (otherwise the poor boy would starve to death). If it is the latter, can we arrange for him to do some very long-term single-handed 2 metre deep tunneling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
