Nine Elms VauxhallPartnership2013/14 BUSINESS PLAN

Nine Elms on the South Bank has started a dramatictransformation. In the years ahead it will become athriving riverside community and business district forLondon, complete with two new town centres atVauxhall and Battersea Power Station, two moreTube stops, improved rail stations, a fantastic newThames Path and a network of exceptional parksand public squares.New transport links are essential to delivering the growth we want tosee in Nine Elms and Vauxhall. We are working on a package of trans -port improvements to tube, train, bus and river services. In this lastyear we received great news when the UK Government guaranteed a1bn loan to fund the Northern line extension to Battersea. This is atremendous achievement for the Partnership and will bring a wealthof new opportunities to thousands of local people.

Major schemes, including Battersea Power Station and the USEmbassy, are gearing up to start construction, joining those deve -lopments already on site. Great progress is also being made inVauxhall where a series of crucial developments have been approved,paving the way for a new district heart and achieving our goal ofremodelling the gyratory to create a more walkable environment.

As the regeneration process gathers momentum the improvementsand opportunities will continue to stack up. Ultimately, we aim toprovide 25,000 permanent jobs, a vast network of public parks andspaces, new schools and healthcare facilities and a total of 16,000new homes catering for people on all levels of income.

We will also ensure we provide benefits to local residents andbusinesses. We will set up a new service to ensure that we can targetthe rising numbers of job and training opportunities towards localpeople, prioritising those most in need of a helping hand into thejobs market. The coming year will also see the first pieces of a newThames river path being created - first by St George Wharf, then atBattersea Power Station where a temporary park will open to thepublic before being replaced by a permanent six acre park furtherdown the line.

We are delivering a programme that will transform Nine Elms andVauxhall for the benefit of London and local people. We cannotdeliver our ambitions or the progress we have already made without our partners in the Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership, includingthe Greater London Authority, Transport for London and the area'slandowners and developers. Its hard to think of anywhere else in thecountry where so many public and private sector partners areworking together to transform an areas fortunes.

We are extremely proud of our achievements to date and excited bythe incredible opportunities coming up in the year ahead.

This will provide the setting for abustling 24/7 food quarter. Vauxhall Cross, which already benefitsfrom an existing station will be transformed into an attractive,walkable neighbourhood, with a mix of uses and public spaceswith streets that are not dominated by traffic.

A bold new linear park from Battersea Power Station through toVauxhall will be a major feature in the sustainable development ofthe area together with improved green open spaces.
