Blackwall & Cubitt Town Councillor Gloria Thienel has added her voice to those calling for the traffic light tree to stay in its current home.
The local landmark, which has stood on the Westferry Circus traffic island since 1998, is under threat. Under plans to remodel the roundabout, housing association Poplar Harca is proposing to move the distinctive sculpture.
Cllr Thienel says "Whether you love it or hate it, it's been so much a part of the area since 1998. We should try to save it for the area which gets lots of visitors, not tucked away on a Poplar Harca estate where only a few will benefit".
