Greenwich depot work underway

16/08/2023 0 Comments

Work on the site of a forthcoming distribution depot is now underwayin after plans were approved in April 2022.

The site on Tunnel Avenue is being developed by Bloom.

The site sits close to the southern exit of Silvertown tunnel which will have a dedicated HGV lane shared with buses.

There’s speculation that another far large depot could be built in Charlton, though no plans have yet been submitted.

This site in Greenwich will see lorry deliveries then “last mile” local deliveries undertaken.

It sits opposite a recently opened hotel.

Tunnel Avenue remains a pretty dismal place for those on foot despite being one of the main pedestrian and cycling connections from east Greenwich to Greenwich peninsula.

Greenwich Council have yet to upload the Section 106 agreement 16 months after the plan was approved.
