Stop the proposed demolition of 179 New Road Rainham, London borough of havering

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Laf Center based at 179 New Road, provides the only place of worship CENTRALLY LOCATED for 100s of Muslims in Rainham & 4/5 towns around it .There are at least 6 churches in Rainham alone.
Other services include: Women development center, Tuition classes,Nursery& Pre- School, Adult day center,
It is apparent in the Beam Park development Master plan, that the main benefactors are the property developers. The housing units been developed are geared towards maximum profit for the developers rather than addressing the housing crisis in the country.This interest will be best served if a portion of the development is awarded to stakeholder as well.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
