Now that the Thames Tideway Tunnel scheme is complete, the PLA is working with Thames Water (TWUL) to find a suitable cargo-handling operator for Middle Wharf, which is a Safeguarded Wharf in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Middle Wharf is one of the best placed wharves in West London and it will contribute significantly to the modal shift of cargoes from road to water, consistent with London Plan policy. The PLA and TWUL will consider cargo-handling operators’ initial technical and functional requirements for Middle Wharf, and so any proposals for new marine infrastructure, or dredging that the prospective operator expects, should be submitted with any expression of interest. The deadline for written submissions is the 14 October 2024. Find out more ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q02R3DLH0 #RiverThames #London #Essex #Kent #PortOfLondon #ThamesEstuary #ThamesVision2050 #TradingThames
