Thames Gateway: cross-Gateway priorities
Considerable investment has already gone into the Gateway, helping to deliver 24,000 new homes in 2001-05 and around 25,000 jobs in 2003-04 alone. But the Gateway is still not performing as well as the rest of the Greater South East. That is why in November 2006 the Thames Gateway Strategic Partnership published the Thames Gateway Interim Plan. This is not only a government plan but "a statement of common purpose by all those working for the Gateway... We all know the Thames Gateway has huge potential - and we have huge ambitions for it... Our aim is to build homes, not houses. Create communities, not conurbations." (Rt Hon Ruth Kelly, Thames Gateway Forum 2006 - Thames Gateway Forum: Keynote Speech )
The Thames Gateway Interim Plan provides that strategic framework and has three parts: a Policy Framework; a Development Prospectus, which describes in more detail what is planned for the three sub-regions of the Gateway (London, South Essex and North Kent) and what developments are going to happen when; and, a Technical Annex, with more supporting information and links to data sources and other research.
The Policy Framework is a statement of common purpose it reflects the collective ambitions for the Gateway and details how partners will work together to achieve them.
