  • Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan
    Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan Published by Historic Royal Palaces © Historic Royal Palaces 2007 Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace Surrey KT8 9AU June 2007 Foreword By David Lammy MP Minister for Culture I am delighted to support this Management Plan for the Tower of London World Heritage Site. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and Britain’s most visited heritage site. It was built to protect and control the city and the White Tower survives largely intact from the Norman period. Architecture of almost all styles that have since flourished in England may be found within the walls. The Tower has been a fortress, a palace and a prison, and has housed the Royal Mint, the Public Records and the Royal Observatory. It was for centuries the arsenal for small arms, the predecessor of the present Royal Armouries, and has from early times guarded the Crown Jewels. Today the Tower is the key to British history for visitors who come every year from all over the world to relive the past and to enjoy the pageantry of the present. It is deservedly a World Heritage Site. The Government is accountable to UNESCO and the wider international community for the future conservation and presentation of the Tower. It is a responsibility we take seriously. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an agreed framework for long-term decision-making on the conservation and improvement of the Tower and sustaining its outstanding universal value.

  • Report: Styles House and Southwark Underground Station PDF 173 KB
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 10. Open 30 April 2019 Cabinet Report title: Styles House and Southwark Underground Station – Enabling Principles to Facilitate New Council Homes and New Employment Space Ward: Borough and Bankside Cabinet Members: Councillor Leo Pollak, Social Regeneration, Great Estates and New Council Homes FOREWORD – COUNCILLOR LEO POLLAK, CABINET MEMBER FOR SOCIAL REGENERATION, GREAT ESTATES AND NEW COUNCIL HOMES The following report describes a land swap and new set of starting principles for the delivery of new council homes as well as new employment space above and beside Southwark tube station. Following years of discussions between the council, Transport for London (TfL) and Styles House residents (now constituted as a TMO), we have over the past few months established a constructive negotiation towards a new set of enabling principles that establish TfL and the Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) as equal partners in the redevelopment of the wider site and lay the foundations for a strong long-term partnership between the TMO and TfL for the management of shared spaces. The TMO have always understood the scale of our borough’s housing crisis and been keen to play their part in building new council homes on their estate. Given the far- reaching changes experienced around the estate over the past 30 years the TMO have been determined to ensure that any new development is designed and managed to the maximum benefit of existing residents. Over the past few months, we have worked together to ensure that any upcoming design process protects the amenity of existing residents, gives the TMO significant influence over how the estate evolves and gives us the best chance of growing the already strong community that people enjoy at Styles House.

  • The Mayor's Report
    1st Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time 27th May 2021 This is my first report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th March 2021 – 13th May 2021. Please note that the information in the Mayor’s Report is accurate at the time of publishing. Executive Summary Thank you London I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Londoners for re-electing me for a second term as Mayor. I’m deeply humbled by the trust that’s been placed in me to continue leading London - the greatest city on earth. The experiences I've had through my life have shaped my belief that we all have a responsibility to do everything we can to build the bridges that bring us together - rather than the walls that only drive us further apart. Our response to this awful pandemic has shown the immense power of unity over division, and of community over self. Now we must capture and harness that spirit of unity and cooperation to build a better and brighter future after the dark days of the pandemic, and I am back in City Hall with a renewed commitment to be a Mayor for all Londoner - working to improve the lives of every single person in this city. You can read more about the team that will be supporting me to deliver for Londoners here: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayor-announces-key-senior- appointments New London Assembly On behalf of all Londoners, I would like to congratulate the 25 elected Assembly Members who now make up the new London Assembly.

  • A Vulnerability-Based Approach to Human-Mobility Reduction for Countering
    A vulnerability-based approach to human-mobility reduction for countering COVID-19 transmission in London while considering local air quality Manu Sasidharan1*+, Ajit Singh2, 3*+, Mehran Eskandari Torbaghan4*, Ajith Kumar Parlikad1 1Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, CB2 1PZ, United Kingdom 5 2School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. 3Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. 4Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, 10 Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. *Correspondence to: [email protected] (M.S.); [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (M.E.T.) + Equal contribution 15 1 20 Abstract An ecologic analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between air pollution, and COVID- 19 cases and fatality rates in London. The analysis demonstrated a strong correlation (R2>0.7) between increment in air pollution and an increase in the risk of COVID-19 transmission within London boroughs. Particularly, strong correlations (R2>0.72) between the risk of COVID-19 25 fatality and nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter pollution concentrations were found. Although this study assumed the same level of air pollution across a particular London borough, it demonstrates the possibility to employ air pollution as an indicator to rapidly identify the city’s vulnerable regions. Such an approach can inform the decisions to suspend or reduce the operation of different public transport modes within a city. The methodology and learnings from 30 the study can thus aid in public transport’s response to COVID-19 outbreak by adopting different levels of human-mobility reduction strategies based on the vulnerability of a given region.
