Dockland 2.0

taking in Charlton Riverside down to Thamesmead. Probably too far away from the ground to spread to The Valley and impact prices there but the potential for more fans; and improvements to transport ?

  • Let's hope it goes better than nine elms which is a ghost town.
  • Fortuitous timing for Charlton’s new investors. Might be an opportunity for a marquee sports project/football ground complex for Docklands 2.0 south development to get some government funding

    These new homes they promise aren't really homes though are they, they will end up being the same copy and pasted high-rise 1-2 bedroom flats that reside on the Woolwich Arsenal. Hardly affordable and a massive strain on already struggling public services. On top of this can only imagine the congestion up and down Woolwich road.
  • From a Charlton perspective though, unless we make Championship I couldn't see a massive rush for these residents to watch overpriced league 1 footy. Unless we start the ol free ticket malarkey again...

    then invest more in public services?

    More likely to see a cut in public services at the moment, turbulent times.

    There is absolutely no excuse for a cut in services. These plans calls for 17k new homes to built. At £200 a month council tax, that's an additional £40m a year in funding for the local authority to invest in public services.

    Public services need to include GP services for 17k plus new people. Quite where those GP’s are found remains to be seen. There will also be the increased pressure on local hospitals. Particularly QE which is already stretched to its limit. These are aspects that developers are least interested in for obvious reasons. It will require central government financial support which we all know will be inadequate. Done properly 17k new homes in the SE7 / SE18 river corridor is very good but it must be done correctly. What’s the chances of that ?

    Or to cover the £40m cut in central government funding?
