Nine Elms regeneration meetings
The council are running two meetings, tonight and tomorrow, for residents interested in finding out more about the regeneration of Nine Elms. I’ve written before about how exciting the scheme is for Battersea and Wandsworth. It is the biggest regeneration area in central London and is a massive opportunity for the borough creating 16,000 home [...]
New Covent Garden shortlist announced
Another of the big projects for Nine Elms took a step forward yesterday with the announcement of the six shortlisted developers for the redevelopment of New Covent Garden Market. New Covent Market is the biggest single development site in Nine Elms and having the six major developers from which to choose is a real boost [...]
The American embassy
Although no longer part of my council brief (and of such importance that it was mainly the leader’s baby anyway) I’m still incredibly excited by the potential in Nine Elms. While the Power Station and New Covent Market have been in the pipeline – sometimes seemingly stuck – for many years, the really exciting development [...]
Selling Putney
I’ve spent a fair chunk of today at an inward investment event for Putney Town Centre. Although Nine Elms and Tooting have been getting a fair degree of attention recently, the council has continued to promote the rest of the borough as a destination to businesses, retailers and investors. Today’s event was aimed at attracting [...]
New Covent Garden Exhibition
The dates for the next public exhibition at New Covent Garden Market have been announced. The exhibition will run over three days starting on Thursday 25 February and finishing on 27 February – including some very early morning sessions (you can go at 5am on the Friday). The market is a fascinating place, and a [...]
Weekly wrap-up, 22 January
I seem to have stopped taking photos this year – so the cup of tea is getting a few outings – not that photos of meetings or a fairly damp and dreary London are any more exciting. Councillor Awards I started the week off acting as a judge for the Local Government Information Unit’s first [...]
New Covent Garden Market
I posted about Jan Lloyd’s presentation on New Covent Garden Market to the Regeneration and Community Safety OSC the other day and have been picked up on my comment that their public exhibitions are over. It was sloppy writing by me. The first round of public consultations are over, but a second round are starting [...]
New Covent Garden Market redevelopment
Last night was the first Regeneration and Community Safety OSC of the year and was kicked off by a presentation from Jan Lloyd on the proposed redevelopment of New Covent Garden Market. It’s amazing when you look at the Market today, when it’s employing 2,500 people (a few hundred less than before the recession) and [...]
Battersea Power Station exhibition
The council is starting its formal consultation on the Battersea Power Station planning application and, to coincide with this, Treasury Holdings are holding another public exhibition this Thursday (between noon and 8pm), Friday (from 10am to 6pm) and Saturday (from 10am until 5pm). The Power Station is a key part of the regeneration of Nine [...]
Weekly wrap-up, 30 October
This week was a story of two regenerations – with two very different results. Recession kills off Roehampton regeneration The bad news came for Roehampton. The Roehampton Regeneration had been moving slowly for several months while the planning application was developed and everyone was aware that the economic climate meant that rapid progress was unlikely.
