Plans for over 350 new homes and the restoration of historic factory buildings by the Thames Barrier have been dusted down and revised again. But with just 12 homes planned for those on Greenwich's 28,000-strong waiting list, will councillors say yes? buff.ly/3Wehuwy
The army says all horses running loose in central London have been recovered, with four people left injured bbc.in/3xMNnSG
Plans for over 350 flats on the site of a long-closed factory near the Thames Barrier look to be back on, four and a half years after the proposal was first submitted. Just 12 homes would be for those on Greenwich's 28,000-strong housing waiting list. buff.ly/3xIV5go

Superloop buses could be coming to Woolwich and Eltham - but a fast link between the two town centres was missing from Sadiq Khan’s announcement today buff.ly/3U3D2sN
Woolwich and Eltham could join the Superloop network of express bus services if Sadiq Khan wins next month’s election, the Labour mayor has said. buff.ly/4aCLNRV
Plans for discounted-rent flats close to Oxleas Woods have been approved at the second time of asking after the developer lopped two storeys off the proposed building. One critic called the block a "turquoise monstrosity". buff.ly/3U6IRFN
New on Substack, my post on Woolwich Metropolitan Borough Council's interwar Page Estate: open.substack.com/pub/municipald…
Despite Sadiq Khan’s manifesto launch being on our doorstep, it seems our invite got lost in the post… Strangely, no mention of the Silvertown Tunnel in his manifesto - it passes the venue - we’d have asked what happened to that bus network. Support local journalism.

Greenwich Council has confirmed that it sold the Grade II-listed Borough Hall for £2.475 million three months ago - only making the fact public after an enquiry from The Greenwich Wire buff.ly/4atusul
@DuncanStott @PhinHarper Also, neither of his pictures are of the Borough Hall but the borough offices that were sold off in 1973 after Greenwich had merged with Woolwich. ‘What to do with loss-making listed events hall?’ is among the most common heritage dilemmas for councils across the country.
Just 2000 likes when both images show parts of the complex sold in 1973 x.com/phinharper/sta…
Greenwich has sold its listed town hall for less than the price of a large house in the same neighbourhood. Its huge, right in the centre of historic Greenwich and has one of the most spectacular viewing galleries in South London. The developers who bought it must be laughing.
@PhinHarper FWI this isn’t Borough Hall, it’s Meridian House, a completely separate building next door.

@greenwich_wire Sometimes people don’t realise the value of something until it’s too late - raise a teacup for Blackheath 🫖
Really good analysis here and lessons need to be learned.
Greenwich lost out in its third bid to be London Borough of Culture (and is now being very quiet about the fact that it entered the contest) but has won £200,000 for "a spectacle of dance, music and cutting-edge tech" buff.ly/3wPfXCt

@greenwich_wire Well done to @greenwich_wire for spotting this. It is a disastrous decision from Greenwich Council but not unexpected given they now dominate the Council and can afford to ignore any opposition.

@greenwich_wire "diverted to the station, which is due to open next year", a mistake, surely?
@greenwich_wire I live in one of the older blocks in the development, and can confirm that Comer are awful. Our water has been regularly turned off for 2/3 days at a time, often without warning. Lifts don’t work, 1/2 in our block has been broken for months. They don’t care about tenants at all.
Excellent sleuthing
There's been another Greenwich Council bailout of the £45m Woolwich Works venue - this time through one of its subsidiary companies. It doesn't want you to know the details, though... buff.ly/3rdeFyy
