Silvertown Quays development delayed over footbridge funding dispute

Newham Council has postponed a decision on a major application to build up to 7,172 homes and mixed-use facilities at Silvertown Quays after councillors raised concerns about the oversight of £6.3m in additional funding needed for a new footbridge across Royal Victoria Dock. The council had previously reduced its direct contribution and proposed covering the shortfall via Section 106 developer contributions, but disagreement remains over who should manage the funds. A decision is now delayed until at least December 9th.
