The 'hybrid' Crossrail Bill [House of Commons, London] has been so discredited in the community in London's East End over the past months due to the uncontrolled lies told for it by the controlling clique on East London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council that a full scale examination of those lies as well as of the fundamental flaws of the Crossrail Bill is being undertaken at a Khoopdeelaar!

London Archirect Kay Jordan denounces Crossrail hole lies- Reports

20.03.2006 13:14

Reports start with Kay Jordan’s address to the Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail-hole-Council Seminar


The Tower Hamlets Council lies on the Crossrail hole

Kay Jordan
Architect and
Director of the Spitalfields Small Business Association
[Brick Lane London E1 area]


Kay Jordan spoke of her long experience working in the community in the Brick Lane London E1 area.

She said that as an architect she knew how to look at a design and how to make sense of it. And to her, the Crossrail hole plan and design did not make sense.

Not when they were compared with the puff and the publicity that Crossrail had been making about the hole plan.

She said that she had also spoken to people with expert knowledge on tunnel construction and on railways.

In their views, the Crossrail hole plan was dodgy and unnecessary.

The devastation that the Crossrail hole would bring to the community in the Brick Lane London E1 area would be huge and irreparable.

Kay Jordan said that she was also very concerned about the social dislocation and destruction that the Crossrail hole would cause.

She said that she found it very hard to see any logic or reason in how the ‘Borough’ of Tower Hamlets [the Council] had behaved on the matter.

They had not told the truth and they had not shown any inclination that they cared much for the truth.

She referred to the Arup report which contained far more detailed acknowledgement of the warnings that Khoodeelaar! Campaign had been giving to Tower Hamlets Council about the hole than would be admitted by the present holders of controlling positions on Tower Hamlets Council


Kay Jordan also mentioned the fact that Crossrail had admitted to her to paying £1 million to Tower Hamlets Council for the ‘design’ alterations of the ‘Idea Store’ Whitechapel.

She said that she found that sum way out of proportion. Explaining the relationship between the cost and market value of the whole ‘Idea Store’ Building, she said that the sum of £1 Million seemed very dodgy and a mysterious amount for the alleged design alteration ‘work’.

There was more to that £1 Million payment by Crossrail to Tower Hamlets Council than may at first appear even from that portrait of Council misrepresentation of the Crossrail hole facts.
