Opponents of a plan to build almost 100 houses on a Limehouse green space are hoping to challenge the decision in the High Court.
The construction of 94 affordable flats on a site known to locals as the Limehouse Triangle in Salmon Lane, Limehouse is expected to begin at the start of next month as part of a £37.1m project by construction company, Bouygues UK in conjunction with Tower Hamlets Council.
However, local residents are unhappy with the construction plans, causing The East London Garden Society to start a petition in a bid to ‘reclaim the Limehouse Triangle‘.
In our second major analysis of industry payment-practice reports,
Megan Kelly delves into the government data to identify the best and worst payers in the sector. We also look beyond the headline figures to uncover the often complex reasons why some companies appear able to settle their debts more swiftly than others
Slow payment has long plagued construction. It comes as no surprise to learn that, in 2020, amid a global pandemic, a national shutdown, and with many companies struggling for cash, poor payment practices have again come to the fore.
According to
Construction News’s latest analysis of government payment data, most of which was collected after the first lockdown was enforced in March 2020, many must still wait well beyond 30 days to receive payment. Adding to cashflow challenges, nearly a third of all payments breached agreed terms, typically meaning a commitment to pay by some other deadline beyond 30 days was also missed.
