Decision details

Received a report prepared in response to the Transport for London (TfL) consultation exercise on the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge.  The Bridge is a major project with considerable potential to link local communities to new opportunities, support the regeneration of the Thames Gateway and otherwise meet the needs of the area in respect of transport, support to town centres and social inclusion.

Agreed, in order to assist the Council in achieving its Community Priority of “Regenerating the Local Economy”:

1. The Council’s response to TfL (as set out in Appendix A to the report); and

2. To support the Thames Gateway Bridge proposal, in principle, subject to further details being provided and a satisfaction resolution of the issues set out in the response being achieved by TfL.
