Responding to the announcement that the Government is expected to back plans to extend the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to Thamesmead at next week’s Budget, John Dickie, Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said:
“The DLR extension to Thamesmead will boost growth and help deliver the Government’s ambitious housebuilding targets.
“The Chancellor’s backing for this shovel-ready project will unlock private investment into housing in Thamesmead, and support employment and social mobility by making it easier for people to access jobs and seize opportunity.”
