I'd like to see the concept art for these things...?

"The Brick Lane Cultural Trail, along with Chicksand and Hanbury Street open spaces will be the focus, with the event also highlighting other improvements in the area made possible by the planning contributions from the development at Bishops Square, Spitalfields

I agree with Tracey Emin, who is reported as saying that "rubbish collections, vermin control, education and improved policing are more important".
I agree so much.
