PC Bolter is probably going to give me 49 phone calls asking me to use my influence sorting you lot out!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the support – we really appreciate it – especially fellow Leabankers!<BR/><BR/>It all comes down to how we FEEL in the end. We FEEL ignored. We FEEL sidelined. We FEEL as if we’re inconveniencing the ODA by just being here. We FEEL that the council has handed over control of Hackney Wick to the ODA. We FEEL unsupported!<BR/><BR/>Feelings count for much more than what the realities are. The realities are that we are right next to a major construction site, and it IS noisy and it IS dusty and it IS disruptive. When we want to say this to the ODA we keep hearing the same old suck record about mitigation. We can see that they are lying to us – yet they persist in telling us the same old lies over & over again. <BR/><BR/>So it makes us a bit frustrated, and when we voice this frustration, we get wrapped over the knuckles for it.<BR/><BR/>I can’t use ANY influence over your feelings. YOU feel them. What I would LIKE is for you all to still turn up to the meeting and tell the ODA exactly what you FEEL. Of course they still might lie, we have yet to see any other action taken by them.<BR/><BR/>But if we just give up, what have we gained?<BR/><BR/>See you there!<BR/><BR/>peace<BR/>Sóna<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Felix – please could you cap off the comments on this entry now, I’m a bit too busy with loads of AGM’s for a few weeks, and don’t want too many more surprise visits & phone calls.Leabank Squarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482765049099564103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589579548155673009.post-19907085903658570312009-01-15T22:02:00.000+00:002009-01-15T22:02:00.000+00:00SonaSo now we can’t go to the very community meeti...Sona<BR/>So now we can’t go to the very community meeting set up to talk to the people who are making our lives such a misery!

Your surname is probably on a list marked ‘of interest’ somewhere on the Olympic Police Unit’s computer. It might just be that a few other Muslim sounding neighbours of the Olympics are getting similar visits from local Plodders? I was at Stratford Station yesterday and there were a few of us passengers waiting for trains, friends, connections, etc milling around those glass cabinets on the first floor. Guess which skin tone millers attracted the interest of the armed police who just happened to be patrolling past? Me? Walked right through me? My massive grocery filled backpack? No interest at all. Asian passenger next to me?

Besides, your kind of agitating – singing Xmas carols loudly at even LOUDER machinery - is hardly going to stop them making our lives a misery is it?<BR/><BR/>We couldn’t work out what that previous blog entry was all about, anyway it just didn’t sound like you wrote it. Thanks for clarifying the background to it. It makes sense now. I have just spent hours looking at what you’ve ever written about the ODA and can’t find a single bit of agitation about it.<BR/><BR/>I agree with some commentators that I don’t think PC Bolter even knew what he was talking about. He was given a script, delivered it, job done. Little (VERY little) does he realise just what has led up to this point. <BR/><BR/>Sona – you know I’m in the business – and I know you don’t think that much of it – but I simply cannot fathom how a so-called bunch of professional public relations people cocked all this up all along the way. <BR/><BR/>At work the only answer we’ve come up with is that they were briefed wrongly at the beginning. Whichever agency did the groundwork on local community impacts – messed it up entirely. So that when the ODA took over – they worked with inadequate knowledge – ignored the first few letters – didn’t take us seriously – thought we were a fragmented unorganised community – put us in a conveniently stereotyped ‘Hackney ’box – whichever way you look at it – they read us all wrong.<BR/><BR/>Rip out our orchard without so much as a replacement tulip bulb. Turn the volume up to 11 without so much as a thought to putting kids to bed at 9pm. Move mountains of toxic earth without so much as a warning to the local asthma & hay-fever sufferers. I could go on & on. But if a small advertising agency such as ours can come up with solutions to their cock-ups – why cant such highly trained & professional Pr people do better?<BR/><BR/>Is it wilful or wishful?<BR/><BR/>MeaganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589579548155673009.post-43453338060647530472009-01-15T13:45:00.000+00:002009-01-15T13:45:00.000+00:00MateMaybe we should reverse the tables?
