Received a report
outlining the current position in respect of the Thames Gateway
Bridge (TGB) scheme which is progressing through its statutory
processes for securing powers to construct it.
Agreed, in order to assist the
Council in achieving its Community Priorities of
‘Regenerating the Local Economy’ and ‘Making
Barking and Dagenham Cleaner, Greener and Safer’, to:
- A written submission on behalf of
the Council to the TGB Public Inquiry;
- The content of the written
submission be subject to the Lead Member for Regeneration’s
approval;
- The principles of the legal
agreement on offer by Transport for London and the establishment of
a Boroughs’ Consultative Group (BCG);
- Any drafting changes to the legal
agreement be delegated to the Director of Regeneration and
Environment for agreement and subject to consultation with the
Solicitor to the Council; and
- Withdraw concerns previously
expressed in respect of the Thames Gateway Bridge.
