Deptford Anchor

The Mayor considered a written submission received from the Overview &

Scrutiny Business Panel which had endorsed views submitted to them by the

Deptford Society.

The Deputy Mayor advised the Mayor that an extensive feasibility study had

taken place and concluded there were very limited options for the placement

of the Anchor owing to the existence of below surface power supply lines. A

new site only 2.5 metres from the previous location was the preferred option.

The Deputy Mayor added that there was still scope for consultation on design

issues.

Councillor Dromey suggested discussions with the Deptford Society should

continue and indicated crowdfunding might only be a partial solution and that

attempts to look at CIL and other funding streams were well underway.
