To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential economic growth and wider benefits of extending the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead via Beckton Riverside.
At Autumn Budget 2025, government committed to financially supporting the extension of the Docklands Light Railway to Thamesmead via Beckton Riverside. The extension will enable the building of up to 25,000 new homes and creation of 10,000 new jobs in Thamesmead and Beckton, and is critical to the development of the proposed New Town in Thamesmead.
As a part of the decision to support the extension, Greater London Authority and Transport for London submitted a Full Business Case to government setting out the benefits the extension will achieve. The Business Case was assessed by His Majesty’s Treasury who concluded that it represents good value for money.

Thamesmead in my constituency needs levelling up. It has some of the worst public transport links in the capital. There are ambitious plans to extend the docklands light railway to Thamesmead, which are supported by Greenwich and Newham councils and Transport for London. Will the Minister look favourably at these proposals when they are submitted to the Government, and provide the necessary funding to finally put Thamesmead on the transport map?

That decision is yet to be taken, but in terms of the hon. Gentleman’s council and the money it is missing out on, it is disappointing to learn that in Chester the green bus technology fund, the low emission
fund, the ultra-low emission fund, the all-electric bus city fund and all the zero-emission bus regional area funds have not been taken advantage of by his council. I really would encourage him to work with his council to make the most of the generous offers provided by the Department.

With a bunch of parents in Saughall in my constituency, we have been trying to put together a package for school bus transport that would save hundreds of car journeys a week. It is predicated on a successful Bus Back Better bid, but the word from the Treasury is that that money will be halved. Will we get the full amount that Cheshire West and Chester Council bid for?
