Show Notes

A £500m plan to redevelop East London’s historic Truman Brewery has sparked a bitter row in Brick Lane. The proposed scheme features new retail and restaurant units, a cinema, private housing and, controversially, a data centre. The plans have divided residents, businesses and politicians ahead of a critical local council election.


In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to The Standard’s business editor Jonathan Prynn about what’s at stake for the local area, and the borough of Tower Hamlets. She also heads to the Brick Lane institution to hear from business owners ahead of the crucial planning decision.
