Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions his Department has had with Transport for London on extending the potential merits of extending the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead.
The Government is committed to supporting the delivery of housing across the country, including in London, ensuring developments are supported by appropriate transport infrastructure as we build back better from this pandemic.
Exploratory work to assess the scale of the opportunity and potential options at Thamesmead & Beckton Riverside is underway, with the Government and Homes England working together with the Greater London Authority and Transport for London.
