Boroughs seek regeneration exemption from Crossrail levy

Mark Smulian, Regen.net, 18 December 2009

London boroughs have claimed that regeneration areas should be exempted from the levy that will fund the Crossrail project because the extra cost would make projects unviable or divert money from other schemes.

An examination-in-public is this week taking evidence on mayor Boris Johnson’s proposals for a levy charged on new office buildings of more than 5,000sq feet in the northern part of the Isle of Dogs and the central activities zone (CAZ), as defined in the London Plan, which he described as "the best proxy for central London".

But the City of London Corporation said the zone "was not originally defined for the proposed purpose and it is not clearly related to the Crossrail route" and called for a charge area that more closely followed the line.

The London Borough of Southwark argued that the Elephant and Castle regeneration area was too far from the route to merit inclusion.

It said: "In addition to rendering the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle unviable, the Crossrail charge is likely to stifle all of the office development planned."

Neighbouring Lambeth has secured an exemption for the Vauxhall and Nine Elms area but complained about the inclusion of Waterloo station in the charge zone.

It said this would divert developer contributions to Crossrail that were needed for a £1.5 billion upgrade of the station.

The London Borough of Greenwich called for the exclusion of Woolwich, since the town’s Crossrail station is already to be financed by Berkeley Homes in a planning gain deal.

The London Borough of Hillingdon, meanwhile, called for the exclusion of the area around Heathrow airport.

The examination in public will report next year on whether it accepts Johnson’s proposals.

AADHIKARonline reporting on “the BBC's in-house propaganda symbol RaymondShoddy personifying servility, immorality and lying by and for the corrupting BBC bureaucracy…” We have EXCLUSIVELY and evidentially, analytically and contextually rearranged the spelling of Raymond Snoddy’s [PUBLISHED LAST] name and decided on calling him Raymond SHODDY because of the disgrace and the corruption that he represents on behalf of the corrupters inside and via the BBC. SHODDY has been doing it for years. And the lying bureaucracy that controls the BBC agenda is using him for its own ends. Shoddy is not complaining. His role on the misleadingly titled ‘NewsWatch’ is a clear disservice to the public in whose name the BBC bureaucracy exists and operates. That slot should be called something like ‘LiesWash’. NOTHING that Shoddy has broadcast EVER via his insult slot has told the truth about the unjustifiable lies that the BBC operates. It goes without saying therefore that SHODDY has not remotely done anything on LIESWASH that has exposed the BBC bureaucracy’s lies and its pernicious hold on the most OTT-hyped and the most pervasive ‘publicly paid for broadcasting and media operations’ in the UK…. But then SHODDY did an equally shoddy job when he had been involved with the Channel FOUR TV slot launched in that Channel’s ‘heyday’. Shoddy helped the C4 bureaucracy to lie and lie and lie until they eventually put paid to their own slogans about scrutinising the failings of their own output. That Channel then mounted Roger Bolton to complete the task of discrediting their originally floated, trendily phrased programme idea of Right to Reply. Bolton who operates his own CRUSADER business enterprise that is significantly promoted by association, is and has been Shoddy’s counterpart in sound now dominating the BBC bureaucracy’s radio version of Right to Lie… It is not an accident that Shoddy has never broadcast any indication of the massive BBC’s lying contribution to the failures and the disservice of the agencies, institutions and bodies across the UK that are supposedly in service to the people. The BBC daily, no, hourly, every minute continuously gives those failing position-holders and the agencies legitimacy and accountability…. That is where the real disservice takes place. In the actual manufacture and the foisting of the BBC packages…[To be continued]
