A number of recent comments underline the fact that for residents the Mango's problem continues. We all know what the symptoms are. Equally, we are all aware of the treatment required, or, as a recent contributor put it, 'I hope this place gets shut dowon soon'.
Please continue to leave a comment. It could ensure that we get the right result at appeal.

Mango's to appeal
It should come as no surprise that Mango's will appeal the council's decision to revoke their licence. On page 13 of Docklands 24 of Wednesday 6 May, 2009 there is an article under the headline, 'Owners to fight revoked licence'.
In the article Mr Sharma makes a number of statements. He states for example that 'For the sake of 10-15 neighbours they are taking my licence away.' At the time of writing there are nearly 1000 hits on this blog. Are we to attribute this traffice to '10-15' neighbours?
Signatures from 65 neighbours were submitted to the council.
Mr Sharma goes on to state, 'I can't see the justice - we're in a small commercial area which is not residential.'
If the area is not residential how are we to explain the 65 signatures? These signatures included many from Breezers Court and Telford's Yard as well as Artichoke Hill. The presence of The Times and a garage does not make our area into an industrial estate.
Over the coming weeks it is imperative that we continue to gather evidence of the problem. The council may well have found our case compelling but we are close to a solution now and must bring all efforts to bear to ensure that the appeal is not upheld.

LBTH Licence Review Hearing
A formal hearing was held this evening by LBTH to review Mango's license. Having listened carefully to evidence given by both sides the council has found in favour of the residents and has revoked Mango's licence.
Mango's have the right to appeal. If they do, the appeal will be held at the Magistrates' Court to which everyone has the right to attend.
Pennington Street residents are now an important step closer to a long-term solution to the violence, noise, disruption and general anti-social behaviour that Mango's attracts to the street.
We are not there yet. Please continue to gather evidence and to leave comments on the blog. Tonight's result should make it clear to everyone that the situation is not hopeless. We will get there in the end.

Keep reporting anti-social behaviour
Ah... so that's how it works... If only we'd known... Get that ASB number in your phone, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets has a special squad standing by. So, if, hypothetically, you have a mob of drunken and howling sociopaths beating each other with empty Jack Daniels bottles outside your window every Saturday night, well, you know who to call... Remember, your calls work.

On and on it goes...
In the early hours of Sunday morning a local resident reported the following:
Another crazy weekend. Going to put some comments on the blog. Saturday was particularly bad, I took some video of a car revving that woke me up at 2.00 and then a fight between two groups of men that occurred at 4.15!! Absolutely no regard for the residents, one man spits at the car with girls in after calling them whores.
