CIVILIANS REMEMBERED

That this House believes strongly that 50 years after the end of the Second World War, it is high time that a memorial be built in East London to civilians who suffered continuous bombing, and who died in the blitz, and to dock workers who risked their lives to keep the London Docks open; and further believes that Hermitage Wharf, the last remaining suitableriverside site in Tower Hamlets, is an ideal location for a memorial park which would both enable the survivors and their descendants to enjoy the riverside, very little of which is accessible to East Enders, and would be a lasting memorial to the courage of the population of London.
