πΏπ Discover the untapped potential of the Thames Estuary! Our latest blog explores how this vital blue-green space can boost public health and drive economic growth. Join us in transforming it into a thriving hub for the community and the environment. #ThamesEstuary
Thank you for the opportunity Last Mile Conference, great event yesterday.
Key insights:
-Yes, the river can be a real opportunity for light freight
-Grid is an issue, energy remain main barrier of growth
-We need more urban logistics space (mixed uses?!)
Thank you! It was interesting to learn about the urban logistics hub project at Waterloo station.
There is a big opportunity to look beyond (and reach the river!) at the coming masterplanning work.

Important research: 'If fully developed nationally these systems have the potential to generate in excess of 6GW, enough to power over five million homes, with an export market worth Β£25 billion supporting over 25,000 marine energy jobs.' π

The River Thames is still an underutilised asset that needs more attention. It is great to work with partners like Thames Freeport on this agenda.
Entire supply chains can be built on this asset with the right approach.
Working together is key! Join the discussion.
