Newham mayor Rokshana Fiaz is launching a campaign to build affordable housing on the five acres of land previously earmarked for the MSG Sphere in Stratford. She said that MSG withdrawing their application for the Sphere was “fantastic news” for Stratford residents. She added: “We’ll now be campaigning for the site to be designated a housing and employment inclusion zone because we want our residents to benefit from homes they can afford and jobs that will increase household incomes". |
