In response to the announcement that plans for the £300m regeneration of the Royal Docks have been given the green light, local London Assembly Member, Unmesh Desai AM, said:

“This will provide a significant boost for Newham, with the scope to create 35,000 jobs and provide 4,000 new homes.

“I am delighted that there is a real focus in the plans to generate much needed affordable workspace and local employment programmes.

“Regeneration schemes like these, which prioritise the needs of the community, are integral to Newham’s future- ensuring that it will become a sought-after destination for the capital’s leading businesses and creative talent. London is moving east.”
