  • Infrastructure in the Thames Gateway

    • Reference: 2004/0228-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Where the Thames Gateway is concerned, we have not heard much about the provision of infrastructure apart from plans for transport in the area. What plans are there to provide gas and other necessary infrastructure in the Thames Gateway? Furthermore, the Thames Gateway area has a known risk of flooding and this being so, how does the LDA propose to defend development in Thames Gateway from this risk? .

    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Recently I paid a visit to one of your flagship projects, the Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing and Engineering (CEME), which is just inside my own constituency in Havering. I was impressed with the building, which is quite a smart piece of architecture, but there were a lot of problems with the running of the building, rather like any new building these days it would seem.

    My question is on joined-up government and all these relationships with the ODPM, the DCMS, the DTI, GOL and all the rest of it. Did anybody inform you of the Government's new scheme to move some 80,000 jobs out of London?

Was there any consultation with the LDA on this?

    We all know you can adjust the ward deprivation figures for whichever agenda you want to deliver. Could you tell me how much has been spent in the London Borough of Barnet?

    Mrs Chapman, I believe that in your strategy you have included food and drink and I am concerned about the Covent Garden Market Nine Elms. In that case, would you support the Covent Garden Market Nine Elms' expansion into this business?
