Greenwich council’s new leader set to challenge Silvertown Tunnel – transportxtra
The new leader of Greenwich council has pledged to meet with the elected mayor of Newham Rokhsana Fiaz to “stop, pause and review” the Silvertown Tunnel, which is under construction in both boroughs.
Anthony Okereke narrowly beat the council’s current leader Danny Thorpe in a vote of the borough’s Labour councillors a week after the party were returned with a large majority in the local elections.
LTT asked Greenwich Council whether Anthony Orereke will press TfL to review its plans for the tunnel. A council spokesperson said: “The council elects its leader at its AGM on 25 May, and will be able to comment further after that time.”
