just part of a huge engineering project. There will be other big

Now, she became known as thd Hackney heroin when during the London riots,

she was filmed telling thosd involved to stop `` during the

Hackney heroin riots. We will discuss the issue in a

moment, but first, here is her story. Hello. My name is Patline

story. Hello. My name is Pauline Pierce, AKA the Hackney heroin. I am

the lady discovered in 2011 telling the rioters to stop. Well, now I am

here to tell Hackney Council test top and to tell the developers

here to tell Hackney Council test top and to tell the developdrs to

stop with the gentrification of our borough. This is the Kingsland

road. It has all changed in the last year and a half. A lot of these bars

are not inclusive of the local people. This is why there is

animosity building and concern. We animosity building and concern. We

are priced out. We can't afford to go in there. I am all for

progression, but when it st`rts to progression, but when it starts to

exclude those that are orighnally from the area, it becomes a problem.

It is not hard to find people in this area who agree. Somewhere

It is not hard to find people in this area who agree. Somewhdre that

used to be homely is no longer homely. When you say that, do you

feel that people do not feel like they belong in their own borough any

more? Sometimes. Shoreditch is coming further down. All thd little

coming further down. All the little people, small businesses, they can't

cope. It is the same here in Homerton. More bars, more rdtro

Homerton. More bars, more retro cafes and a lot more gentrification.

Like me, Ben Mathis is an activist with the Liberal Democrats locally.

He has also noticed a big change. I don't think there is anything wrong

with a bit of gentrification, per se. The real problem is the way it

is being imposed outside in a way that not seem to give the people who

that not seem to give the pdople who are already here in opportunity to

take part in the development. After the riots, Hackney Council were

given millions of pounds to spend any way they liked to rejuvdnate the

any way they liked to rejuvenate the area, but they decided to open a

fashion hub. I am the person who told the rioters to stop rioting,

the campaign and do things the right way. But I am here now, saying

way. But I am here now, sayhng exactly the same to all the

developers and our local cotncil. exactly the same to all the

developers and our local cotncil. Do the right thing. Stop this now.

Joining me now is the deputy mayor Joining me now is the deputy mayor

of Hackney Council. Sophie, we heard in that piece that people lhving in

Hackney feel as if they don't belong. That must concern you. It

does concern me if anyone feels they do not belong in their own

community. But we go out day after community. But we go out dax after

day, talking to people, and we feel that a lot of people are embracing

the changes. People are apprehensive of change, but if Hackney is to

progress, and it is succeeding, of change, but if Hackney is to

progress, and it is succeeding, it has to manage that change and find

opportunities for young people and all communities so that we dmbrace

the places like the fashion hub that Pauline Pierce mentions. Alex proud,

Pauline Pierce mentions. Aldx proud, you want trendy bars and galleries

across the country. You are partly to blame for this. Well, in Camden,

we have seen an area become trendy over the course of 20 years. The way

London used to be was that areas became gentrified very gently over a

long period. The problems have became gentrified very gently over a

long period. The problems have come with judge vacation which h`s

happened very fast. `` gentrification. Areas have gone from

being backwaters to the coolest place in Europe in two years, and

suddenly you have a community that feels out of place, with hotse

feels out of place, with house prices going through the roof.

Sophie, what do you say to that? Sophie, what do you say to that

There are issues with rapid change, but Hackney has been changing over a

number of years. It has made massive improvements. It is about dhfferent

types of people coming into the borough, but Hackney has always

coped with change and embraced it. It is not just about the hipsters

coming into the borough. It is also about the changes we have m`de to

parks and schools. We have some of the best results in education. But

people are at the hands of, course health is a huge issue that when

people are at offensive. But when we talk about money, if you look at

Hackney, it was a no man's land. Money coming in has to be a good

thing. Money coming in is a great thing, but the problem is that we

are not building enough flats or houses across London. So you are

houses across London. So yot are seeing massive demand coming into a

place where, because of the view of St Paul's Cathedral, we can hardly

build anything. Councils have to change planning in London. We need

to build a few hundred thousand flats in five years. Where I

to build a few hundred thousand flats in five years. Where H work in

Camden, my staff all used to come in by walking. Now, no one lives closer

than some four or five. It will destroy London if we do not sort out

cheap accommodation soon. Sophie, Hackney had millions to plough into

Hackney had millions to plotgh into the area after the riots. The people

that took to the streets were the disillusioned young people. Do you

feel you are doing enough for them? There is always more that wd can do,

There is always more that we can do, but Hackney got ?2 million from the

regeneration fund after the riots. It spent some of that on redoing the

road that saw the worst bits of the riots. It also pedestrianised part

riots. It also pedestrianisdd part of the local high street. And it

used some of the money to add to further investment in the fashion

hub. When that is finished, it will provide 450 local jobs for local

people. But would community centres be better than that for these young,

disillusioned Londoners? I think young people need aspirations skills

and to enable them to take up those and to enable them to take tp those

aspirations. And they need the jobs when they finish their training.

when they finish their training That is what the fashion hub is

about, providing the aspiration for new jobs in an exciting area of

new jobs in an exciting are` of business. Thank you both for coming

in. Now, after more than 100 caps for

his country, Frank Lampard has announced his retirement from

But now retired from intern`tional But now retired from intern`tional

football. In a statement today, he said:

He's good 29 England goals, captained the side six times and was

the eighth England player to reach 100 caps. He is also widely credited

for pushing the issue on goal`line for pushing the issue on go`l`line

technology after this now infamous goal that was never given at the

2010 World Cup. Tributes on social media included Match Of The Day

announcement. However, Lamp`rd s announcement. However, Lampard 's

decision is also linked to his upcoming move to America as well as

his family and the need to put them first.

Let's check on the weather now. When is this rain going to stop? Well may

you ask, because it was constant all the way through the day yesterday

and today as well. As we go through the rest of the week, it will not be

as wet or Chile. You can sed the rest of the week, it will not be

Monday with us, it was still swirling around enough to give us a

heavy dose as we went through today. And we have had some stunning

rainfall totals in 48`hour so. It has been a very wet spell of

weather, coming when we hoped it weather, coming when we hoped it

would be anything but. The good news is that it is tailing off now. It is

raining less out there for most is that it is tailing off now. It is

raining less out there for most of us this evening. Overnight, it will

be drying out. We will have clear sky here and there, but just enough

clout and enough of a breeze to keep clout and enough of a breezd to keep

it fairly mild. And some sparkles of sunshine first thing tomorrow

morning are a possibility. H am sure morning are a possibility. H am sure

that will be very welcome after the last couple of days. There will be

some patchy cloud that glides around here and there. But it will also

feel warmer. There will not be much rain on the way tomorrow. Btt there

rain on the way tomorrow. But there will be patchy bits and pieces

overnight. That will move away for Thursday. There could be showers on

Thursday and Friday, but for now, we can relax.
