Brian Paddick's visit to London Chinese Community Centre

Round Table Discussions at London Chinese Community Centre (CCC)

At Mayoral Candidate Brian Paddick's last visit to CCC at 28-29 Gerrard Street, he had walked into a room of spritely elders playing cards and drinking tea. Last Saturday (5 Nov) he was greeted instead by a cacophony of Chinese musical instruments, as he squeezed past a group of adult students finishing a calligraphy and brush painting class. CCC was as usual bustling with activities under the stewardship of their Chair, Christine Yau, who had kindly facilitated the visit.

St Mary's Street Update - Now Open in Both Directions

I'm pleased to confirm that St Mary's Street is now open in both directions, as work continues on the major scheme to reconstruct the road after a survey revealed it was at risk of collapsing. The works will continue for up to another three weeks at most, during which it will continue to be at a reduced capacity (i.e. one lane open in each direction). However, it's great to be able to report that vehicles can now travel north over the Town Bridge, which will ease some of the pressure on our road network and help residents in going about their day-to-day business.
