Heart of city life: New Year’s Eve fireworks over the Thames. Those who live, work or trade in London need no convincing of the capital’s importance nationally and internationally. Introduction But a new academic study in 2014 served to underline the city’s position on the global stage – naming London as the world’s most influential city. “That was due to a combination of connectivity, education, quality of life and other factors – and the author of the study was a US academic,” says Port of London Authority CEO Robin Mortimer. “And what is at the heart of this great city? The River Thames, from its green and leafy upper district, to the historic heart of the city, to the estuary with its heavy industry and major port facilities. The Thames plays a vital role in the success of London.” Having joined the PLA in March 2014, Robin Mortimer says: “The absolute, overall message is that there is huge potential for growth. The port is closer to the main market than any other UK port and it has potential to grow further in terms of its capacity. “We are seeing a number of major developments along the river as port and terminal owners and operators invest in new infrastructure and equipment. And the PLA as an organisation is here to facilitate that growth in several ways.” The PLA delivers excellent customer service, backed by an extraordinary depth of marine expertise. It leads the way nationally and internationally in disciplines such as hydrographics, Vessel Traffic Services and pilotage. This isn’t an organisation full of ‘generalists’, Robin Mortimer points out. “The PLA is an organisation with very deep skills.

  • Landfill Tax in the UK: Barriers to Increased Effectiveness and Options for the Future

    Landfill Tax in the UK: Barriers to Increased Effectiveness and Options for the Future

    Landfill Tax in the United Kingdomi Author: Tim Elliott (Eunomia) Brief summary of the case The UK landfill tax was introduced in 1996 in order to better reflect the environmental costs of landfilling. The aim was therefore both to reduce the overall levels of waste produced and to send less waste to landfill. The tax has two bandings: inert waste, currently levied at GBP 2.65 (EUR 2.96) per tonne, and non-inert waste, currently levied at GBP 84.40 (EUR 94.21) per tonne, originally at GBP 7 per tonne.1 When the tax was first introduced, it received wide- spread support from industry, local authorities and NGOs. This was a result of the original intention for the tax to be revenue-neutral by offsetting a reduction in national Insurance Contributions. Furthermore, operators of landfill sites can offset up to 6% of their annual tax by contributing to environmental bodies under the Landfill Communities Fund. Annual revenues have risen from GBP 400 million in 1997/98 to a peak of GBP 1.2 billion in 2013/14, while revenues in 2015/16 were GBP 900 million (EUR 1 billion). The tax has had a significant impact on the quantity of waste sent to landfill: in 2001/02, 50 million tonnes annually were sent to landfill. In 2015/16, the same figure was around 12 million tonnes. A consultation exercise with industry was conducted ahead of the introduction of the tax. A key outcome of this consultation was the banding of the tax into inert and non-inert wastes and the change from an ad valorem structure to a weight-based tax.

    Jim Harra Chief Executive and Permanent Secretary Meg Hillier MP 2/75 Chair, Committee of Public Accounts 100 Parliament Street House of Commons London London SW1A 2BQ SW1A 0AA Tel 03000 585842 Ema il [email protected] 2 February 2021 Dear Chair, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been working towards providing a simple, fairer and more consistent set of working arrangements and pay system for our employees. The reform of HMRC’s working arrangements and pay is long overdue. Largely as a result of the merger of HM Customs and Excise and the Inland Revenue in 2005, we currently have a complex array of different contracts, terms, conditions and entitlements across HMRC. These arrangements have increasingly restricted our ability to respond to the changing needs of the public we serve, whilst also generating additional costs for HMRC. Currently two thirds of HMRC colleagues are at the bottom of the pay range and we don’t want to be a living wage employer, where we have to increase pay each April to keep in step with the National Living Wage. We also have an array of working arrangements, with colleagues on different contracts, which do not always meet the needs of the Department and our customers. Last July, Ministers agreed that we should enter negotiations with the trade unions to resolve these longstanding contractual problems as part of a wider pay settlement for our staff. In the negotiations, we focused on the things that our colleagues told us matter most: a good pay offer, a permanent fix to the issues with our current pay system and, critically, changes to make our working arrangements fairer and simpler, while giving us greater flexibility to deploy our workforce to meet customers’ needs.
  • Port of Tilbury Backs Lower Thames Crossing - but Only with a Junction Into the Expanding Port Area

    Port of Tilbury Backs Lower Thames Crossing - but Only with a Junction Into the Expanding Port Area

    Port of Tilbury backs Lower Thames Crossing - but only with a junction into the expanding port area Posted: 2017-04-12 The Port of Tilbury, London’s major port and the closest significant transport operation to the proposed new motorway and tunnel, welcomes the Government’s decision today (12th April) on the Lower Thames Crossing. Charles Hammond, Chief Executive of the Forth Ports group (owner of the Port of Tilbury), welcomed the Government's decision on the route of the Lower Thames Crossing, while continuing to make the case for a junction into the Port of Tilbury area: "With Brexit looming, it is imperative that the UK prioritises major infrastructure improvements to key international trading corridors. "This investment is as much about north-south connectivity, as east-west road links on and off the motorway. "It is vital that nationally significant transport operations like the Port of Tilbury have high quality and reliable road connections. That's why we will maintain the case for an all-moves junction off the new motorway into the expanding port area." According to Highways England's latest draft route strategy, the Port of Tilbury has one of the least reliable and least resilient road connections to the national motorway network of any major port. Tilbury supports option C - a new tunnel and motorway connection east of the towns of Gravesend and Tilbury - but with the proviso that the proposed crossing and new road through Thurrock provides a step change in the connectivity to and from the port. Over the next 12-18 months as the details of route and junctions are refined by Highways England, the Port will continue to call for the inclusion of an all-moves junction east of Tilbury with a direct link to the Port of Tilbury area.

INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by the London Development Agency (LDA) and Greater London Authority (GLA), with support from the Port of London Authority (PLA) in response to a need for a better understanding of London’s future cruise facility requirements. This need is identified in the London Tourism Vision for 2006-2016, and associated Action Plan 2006-2009, under the theme ‘A Sustainable and Inclusive City’, one of whose objectives is to ‘Increase the profile and usage of services along the Thames’. London currently hosts a relatively small number of cruise ships each year, making use of the informal and basic mooring and passenger facilities at Tower Bridge and Greenwich. The aim of this research is to assess the extent to which the lack of a dedicated, more efficient cruise facility is discouraging operators from bringing cruise ships to London, and if there is latent demand, how might this be accommodated.

Introduction Docklands is the semi-official name for an area in east London. It is composed of parts of the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich. Docklands is named after docks of the London port which had been in this area for centuries. Between 1960 and 1980, all of London's docks were closed, because of the invention of the container system of cargo transportation. For this system the docks were too small. Consequently London had a big area of derelict land which should be used on new way. The solution was to build up a new quarter with flats, offices and shopping malls. Map with 4 the parts of London Docklands and surrounding boroughs (Source: Wikipedia.org) 2. The beginning of Docklands 2.1. London’s first port Within the Roman Empire which stretched from northern Africa to Scotland and from Spain to Turkey, Londinium (London) became an important centre of communication, administration and redistribution. The most goods and people that came to Britain passed through Londinium. Soon this harbour became the busiest place of whole Londinium. On the river a harbour developed were the ships from the west countries and ships from overseas met. 2.2. The medieval port From 1398 the mayor of London was responsible for conserving the river Thames.
