A campaign has been launched to help protect Hackney’s Gillett Square, home of NTS Radio, from private developers.

The online petition was started late last night, with support flooding in as locals and vistors to the area come together to share their stories surrounding the public space, and their distain towards the proposed prospects for the East London community hub.

Addressed to Philip Glanville, Mayor of Hackney, it calls for support in the Square’s listing as an Asset of Community Value, due to its importance as “one of the most valuable cultural and community urban spaces in London”, according to the attached letter.

The open space is said to be under threat from private developers, alluded to in a tweet earlier today from NTS, as seen below.

You can sign the petition here.
