Hughes welcomes Elephant & Castle decision

July 24, 2007 12:00 AM

Simon Hughes, MP for North Southwark and Bermondsey, responding to Southwark Council's selection of a consortium of Lend Lease, First Base and Oakmayne as its development partner for the Elephant and Castle, said:

"This is a very exciting day for the Elephant and Castle and for Southwark. The choice of development partner has been carefully and thoroughly considered and is very welcome.

"I have every confidence that the council and the developers have listened and responded to local residents who want more and better housing, local businesses who want more and better places to trade, and the local communities who want a dynamic, exciting and successful Elephant and Castle for the 21st century.

"The Elephant and Castle has been one of London's major interchanges for people and transport for the last 100 years. Successful regeneration over the next few years will make our area a south London centre to be proud of, and make the Elephant one of the most exciting and happening places south of the river but in the centre of London."

    If you are a resident of the Bermondsey and Old Southwark constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
