INTRODUCION To the effective presentation and passage of a Motion saying an unequivocal No to the Crossrail hole Bill by the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council at the’ scheduled full Council meeting to be held in September 2007
1. That this Council has taken into account the detailed, the extensive, and the comprehensive representation made to this Council by the local community generally and by the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against Crossrail hole during the past more than three years
2. That the considered view on the evidence as made available in public and as sought by this Council is that in the local economy and in the local area, there is no demand for the scheme as it is currently contained in the Crossrail Bill [now in the UK House of Commons] and that the priorities for the application of public resources are more urgently and justifiably demanded by other needs which the CrossRail scheme in its current form does not meet and could not meet.
3. That the local infrastructure in the mainly ordinarily and socially cohesively populated areas and parts of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets could be improved by addressing the aspects of locally desirable, locally preferable, locally demanded and locally agreed ‘new construction’, maintenance and improvement priorities rather than by the local needs of the East End of London being inaccurately and misleadingly cited [as has been done by those who promote the grand programme of ‘CrossRail’] in a programme of propaganda [as has been done by those who appear to be taking uncritically the propaganda being unleashed by the City of London interests and by the other multinational conglomerates including by Bechtel, the USA multinational with dubious records of contracts with the USA-backed operations in the ‘reconstruction of Iraq’ !!!!!!!!!!] that does not do justice to the needs of the Tower Hamlets [widely recognised as being one of the most deprived parts of inner cities in the UK - by all independent studies done across the academic and professional research fields in the past 40- years] area nor does it recognise the human resources and the parameters that these quite specifically Tower Hamlets-born resources and our local demography actually produce and warrant.
4. That this Council exists to serve the local community by responding to the needs that the community has within the framework of universally defined democratic accountability and financial and economic responsibility.
5. That the Crossrail hole plan, as it is contained in the present Crossrail Bill [in the House of Commons at Westminster] does not reflect the concerns about transport of the local community generally and that it does not reflect let alone support the priorities in transport provisions and planning that this Council should support to meet the manifest needs of the community in the particular parts of the Borough as demanded by the ordinary local people as based on their present experience, recent knowledge and foreseeable needs taking into account the actual abilities and the potential as defined by the facts of the performances of the economic and social factors including the local schools, the local economic units and the local institutions and agencies and the local environment.
6. That the evidence of the research and the investigations into the Crossrail plan, as it is contained in the present Crossrail Bill [in the UK House of Commons], show that the project is NOT about meeting the needs of Tower Hamlets or indeed of the areas farther east in the boroughs of Newham, Dagenham and beyond those areas but that the Crossrail scheme is and has been about the linking of a handful of locations in London that are mainly used by the conglomerates and similar interests inked with the City of London.
7. That a distinction must be made between the dictates and the unaccountable urges of those conglomerates and their agencies using a location for benefiting only the conglomerates in the main and their opposites, the ones that are based on the needs, the priorities and the demands of the vast majority of people in the borough whose transport needs are not addressed by the prioritisation of a project as based on the dictates of the handful of people only because the handful of people constitute and represent the conglomerates..
8. That the Crossrail project as it currently is, does not contain any element that can be shown to objective and universally valid scrutiny to be primarily about the people of London or about the communities across London or indeed about the people or the communities in the outlying parts affected by the proposed Crossrail alignments, is seen in and has been proven time and again in the contents of the formal objections that have been lodged with the House of Commons. _
9. That the House of Commons has not allowed the contents of the present ‘Crossrail Bill’ to be examined impartially with due and proper regard being paid to the constitutional obligations that the UK is under as part of the UK’s membership of the EC and the UK’s treaty agreement to abide by the ECHR, shows that the formal process of legislation is open to challenge in courts in the matter of the present ‘Crossrail Bill’ [as it is in the House of Commons].
10. That the promoters of the CrossRail Bill as it is have prevented the examination of the relevant evidence concerning the impact the CrossRail hole Bill will have on the East End of London
11. That this was the case when several dozen separate petitioners to parliament against the Crossrail hole Bill were prevented from brining in key evidence and expertise to counter the fabricated ‘benefits’ of CrossRail as claimed by the promoters of Crossrail. The prevention amounted to the parliamentary committee’s breaching of the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In several particulars.
12. That there has been a significant departure from the blatant description of CrossRail as being about linking [= connecting] the City of London, Canary Wharf and Heathrow airport, as has been witnessed in the phraseology in the most recent propaganda [End of July- start of August 2007] output by the City of London interests and by the multinational organizations that have been lobbying for public expenditure for the construction of the proposed Crossrail [as it is in the present ‘Crossrail Bill’] is entirely to do with the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the spin masters for the Crossrail hole project. This Crossrail hole Bill-promoters’ departure from the previous descriptions and words has been witnessed in their substitution of words and phrases ‘recognising’ the existence of the notional east of London lengths of the CrossRail scheme. Until Khoodeelaar! pointed this out and thus exposed the true plan, agenda and purpose of the forces behind Crossrail scheme, those forces were feeling quite blasé about getting their hands on the UK Public purse and grabbing what is estimated to be at least £20 Billion [at 2005 prices] worth of public cash [under the cover of constructing Crossrail] the main share of which would go into the coffers of conglomerates and huge construction organisations. They were persistently describing the core of the Crossrail project as being about linking the three locations, Canary Wharf, City of London and Heathrow airport._13. That this was the case until the Khoodeelaar! Campaign identified the ‘mayor of London’ Ken Livingstone as playing the role of the chief tout for the Crossrail hole plot.
