AN EAST London residents’ association has launched a public appeal to raise £30,000 to oppose the relocation of an embassy to their estate.
The Chinese government plans to establish a “super-embassy” on a small residential estate close to the Tower of London, the Social Housing Action Campaign (SHAC) said. It would be the biggest embassy in Europe.
The proposed site includes housing owned by the MTVH Housing Association and residents fear the development will disrupt their close-knit community at Royal Mint Court.
