Stand up for the community: fight for our rights! Fight for clean streets in Brick Lane

Fozol Miah warns late night foul players who leave the Brick Lane streets filthy.

The menace of late night revellers who either gather in Brick Lane or pass throwing the popular Lane leaving their unhealthy excesses all over the streets is not new. We have already reported on local resident and community activist Askir Miah complaining about the dire state in which the streets are left by these late night “users”.

We have also followed the complaints by the Brick Lane area Curry restaurants that have made similar complaints. We have chronicled in the past how the complaints to the Police and the local Tower Hamlets Council have not led to these hazardous revellers being acted on.

So we spoke to one of the three councillors for the very Council Ward [ the Brick Lane area is listed on the Council as the "Spitalfields and Bangla Town" ward] that includes Brick lane and nearby streets affected by the filthy “culture” of the “revellers”.

Fozol Miah has told us that he is on the case and is determined to stop the filth and the mess in the streets. He has already spoken to the Police and is following up on the complaints by residents. Fozol Miah knows a large number of residents, having grown up in the area and being one of small number of people who have actually taken on anti-social elements from an early age. Fozol Miah had been at the centre of community campaign when he found himself nicked after he defended the local community against an earlier, smaller, contingent of “threat-makers” to the community.

I was one of those who outside the community to get Fozol Miah released from Police custody. And I have also noted Fozol Miah’s movement in supporting the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against the Crossrail hole.

Fozol’s by-election win last year is still accessible on the East London Advertiser online

Like Fozol Miah, Askir Miah too is a local activist who cares for the welfare of the community. We report on Askir Miah's latest activities against anti-social revellers, next.
