  • Alternative Options Investigated to Address the Issues at Blackwall Tunnel

    Alternative Options Investigated to Address the Issues at Blackwall Tunnel

    Alternative options considered to address the issues at the Blackwall Tunnel We have considered a wide range of options for schemes to help address the transport problems of congestion, closures and incidents, and resilience at the Blackwall Tunnel and believe that our proposed Silvertown Tunnel scheme is the best solution. This factsheet examines a number of potential alternative schemes, including some which were suggested by respondents to our previous consultation, and explains why we do not consider them to be feasible solutions to the problems at the Blackwall Tunnel. Further detail on each alternative as well as other alternatives is included in the Preliminary Case for the Scheme, which can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk/Silvertown-tunnel. Building a bridge between Silvertown and the Greenwich Peninsula, rather than a tunnel We have considered building a bridge at Silvertown, instead of a tunnel. However, any new bridge built in east London needs to provide at least 50m of clearance above the water level to allow tall sea-going shipping to pass beneath safely. A bridge with this level of clearance would require long, sloping approach ramps. Such ramps would create a barrier within the local area, as well as dramatically affecting the visual environment and going against local authorities’ development plans. A high-level bridge would also not be feasible in the current location due to it’s proximity to the Emirates Air Line cable car. We also considered the option of a lifting bridge (like Tower Bridge). This could be constructed at a lower level, with less impact on the local area.

    Stepney in Peace and War the Paintings of Rose L. Henriques

    NEWSLETTER OF TOWER HAMLETS LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES LH&A NEWS November-December 2013 Stepney in Peace and War The paintings of Rose L. Henriques The Foothills, 'Tilbury', bombed second time. Watercolour on paper, Rose L. Henriques. c1941. Our new exhibition is a rare opportunity to see highlights from our collections of paintings by the Jewish philanthropist Rose L. Henriques (1889-1972) which launches here on Thursday 28 November at 6.30pm. This event is open to the public and is co-hosted with the Jewish East End Celebration Society. With her husband Sir Basil, Lady Rose Henriques founded the St George's Jewish Settlement in Betts St, Stepney in 1919. Here, the Henriques developed social welfare facilities and services for the deprived local community ranging from youth clubs to washrooms and open to Jews and non-Jews alike. The Settlement was able to expand into its own new premises in Berner Street in 1929 thanks to funding from philanthropist Bernhard Baron, after whom the building was renamed. Rose was an avid artist, serving on the board of the Whitechapel Gallery, and the watercolours in our collection are a unique record of Stepney around the time of the Second World War. Focussing on the regular activities and everyday landscapes of the besieged borough, her subjects include the clear-up and triage activities of the Civilian Defence Service, the controversial air raid shelter known as "Tilbury", and scenes of bombed out synagogues and churches. She also painted everyday life at the Settlement building where she and Basil lived. This exhibition has been curated by staff with the expert voluntary help of art researcher Sara Ayad.

Today, thirteen OECD countries have passed landmark legislative reforms that call for compulsory prepayment and universal entitlement to comprehensive services, while most of the others achieve similar coverage through a mixture of public and private voluntary arrangements. This study carried out a detailed analysis of why, how and to what effect governments became involved in health care financing in eight of these countries. During the early phase of this evolution, reliance on direct out-of-pocket payment and an unregulated market mechanism for the financing, production and delivery of health care led to many unsatisfactory outcomes in the allocation of scarce resources, redistribution of the financial burden of illness and stabilisation of health care activities.
