The PLA is calling on communities in Wandsworth, Barking and Dagenham, and Havering to share their ideas and ambitions for the River Thames in their area.
All responses will be used by the PLA to inform its Tidal Thames Masterplan, which seeks to increase the river’s use for communities, businesses and recreation, as well as enhance its natural environment.
Running until 11 February 2025, the consultation for the Tidal Thames Masterplan in each of the boroughs of Wandsworth, Barking and Dagenham, and Havering, will be open for a period of eight weeks.
The Port of London Authority applied to the Marine Management Organisation for a Harbour Revision Order in 2021. During consultation a number of objections were raised, a significant number of which were then addressed and resolved. There remains, however, a number of objections that have not been withdrawn. As a result the Marine Management Organisation decided on 19 August 2024 there was a need for a public inquiry to be held. The inquiry chair, Christopher Jacobs, was appointed on 11 September 2024 and the inquiry is now confirmed to begin on 25 February 2025.
All updates and information relating to the inquiry are published by the inquiry programme officer, Helen Wilson, on her web page.
