Status of Mercury Walk

The request was successful.

Dear Tower Hamlets Borough Council,

Mercury Walk is identified as pedestrianised land between Leamouth Road Gateway and Silvocea Way. This land is owned by Tower Hamlets and it appears to be being used as a car park. "Mercury Walk Car Park".

What land designation does Mercury Walk have?

Is Mercury Walk considered to be Public Realm?

The Planning Portal has no record of Mercury Walk, or having permission to be a car parking area.

Is Mercury Way a parking area for council employees employed at the Silvocea Way depot?

Does Tower Hamlets have any plans to make improvements to Mercury Way, if so what are they and will they prohibit vehicle parking?

Yours faithfully,

Ralph Hardwick

London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Tower Hamlets Borough Council
