Image source, GoogleNando's has dropped plan to turn a historic East End Library where one of the UK's largest trade unions was born into a restaurant.
Canning Town Library, which is Grade II listed, hosted famous Left-wing political speakers such as trade unionist Keir Hardie and suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst.
After a meeting there in 1889, Will Thorne formed the National Union of Gasworkers and General Labourers, which later became the GMB. Thorne also helped organise the London Dock Strike of the same year.
The chicken restaurant was in negotiations to transform the first floor of the library into its latest branch, after plans were recommended for approval by Labour-led Newham council.
The GMB fought the idea, saying it was “bird-brained” calling for the building into offices for its staff.
Warren Kenny, GMB regional secretary for London, said: “We’re delighted Nando’s has seen sense and shelved this proposal before it hatched.
"There is a time and a place for chicken, but a historic library that forms part of the fabric of Newham’s community was never it."
At a meeting last week, the borough’s planning committee deferred the plan until a later date after almost 40 councillors and both Newham MPs, Lyn Brown and Stephen Timms, signed a letter against it.
The council argued the building was costing “£2,000 per week to maintain” and said Nando’s was its “preferred occupier”.
A spokesman for Nando’s said: “It has become clear that the history of the library building and its deep association with certain groups in the community means there are very strong feelings about how it should be used.
"As a result of these unique circumstances, we have decided not to proceed with our application.”
A 50-year-old man has been arrested after going into a bank and dousing himself in petrol.
Police in Bromley, south-east London said that the man entered Metro Bank in the High Street and covered himself and the bank in the flammable liquid.

According to the local police Twitter feed MPSBromley, the incident was not being treated as terror-related.
