Mitigation

• ‘Special Case’ procedure – Non-statutory off-site mitigation &

compensation policy

• ‘Standard Case’ procedure – discretionary offer made by Tideway

15

Special Case Procedure

• ‘Special Case’ procedure is in accordance with the Non-statutory off-site mitigation and compensation policy.

• Offers a mechanism for residents to apply for additional mitigation if they have special circumstances which are exacerbated by exposure to the effects of construction, eg.noise and/or vibration.

• Special circumstances could include night shift workers, vulnerable persons who are housebound or those with a recognised medical condition.

• Mitigation could include:- secondary glazing for habitable rooms, eg living rooms or bedrooms

- respite periods away from the works during more intrusive construction activities or,

- temporary rehousing for the duration of the construction works.

• Special circumstances could also include those who have a demonstrable loss as a direct result of the construction, e.g loss of rent or business.

• All Special Case applications are assessed by the Independent Compensation Panel (ICP) and are assessed individually on a case by case basis.

16

Special Case Procedure – How To Apply

• Apply and make yourself known to the project, either by email,

phone or verbally to one of the team.

Email - helpdesk@tideway-london

Phone – 08000 30 80 80

• Tideway’s TAPs and Mitigation Lead will contact you and talk you

through the process, either over the phone or in person.

• Your application needs to include:

- Clear statement / description of how the works are affecting you.

- Supporting documentation eg. evidence of being a nightshift worker, or

evidence from a GP or medical consultant

• Your supporting documentation will then be reviewed by the

Independent Compensation Panel (ICP).

17

Standard Case procedure

• New mitigation procedure which will run in parallel to the existing Special Case & TAPs mitigation

• Discretionary offer by Tideway available for days when impact piling of cofferdam sheet piles at King Edward Memorial Park Foreshore site may occur.

• Qualifying residents can select mitigation without needing to submit an application to be considered a Special Case by the Independent Compensation Panel (ICP).

• Only for impact piling days, not available for days when sheet piles are installed by push piling or vibration piling.

• Impact piling days will be notified in advance by email.

• In order to qualify for the Standard Case mitigation, residents must fulfil both the following criteria:

a) Residents must permanently live within the Geographical Area, and

b) Residents must have one of the identified Characteristics

• The new Standard Case procedure was initially developed for Chambers Wharf site with input from the local agencies.

one of the following discretionary mitigation offer for impact piling

days:

1. Daily Daytime Respite Payment – daily payment to assist resident to go out if they so wish

2. Temporary Office / Working Space – For those who work from home

• Should a resident request alternative mitigation not listed above

(such as respite with overnight accommodation or temporary

rehousing), then they would need to make an application to be

considered a ‘Special Case’.

21

Standard Case – Next steps

• Residents within the Geographical Area will receive a letter in the

near future.

• Tideway have appointed a Case Support Adviser to assist residents

in applying to be a Standard Case and advising what mitigation is

available.

Hoarding Commission

The Process

• Following an open call, the three shortlisted artists visited the site prior to

developing their proposals.

• The selection panel was held on 22 February. A representative from the

Community Liaison Working Group (CLWG) participated, along with

representatives from Tideway and CVB (the Main Works Contractor) and

LB Tower Hamlets.

The Proposal

• Artists Matheson Marcault (Holly Gramazio and Sophie Sampson) are

working with local community groups to develop a series of games that can

be played in the park and the surrounding area. The rules for these games

are being developed into a visually striking design for the hoarding area

adjacent to the play area and tennis courts.

Games for specific landscaping in the park

Games which reference sport

Hoarding Commission

Methodology / Community involvement

• During April and May the artists met and worked with five different local

groups. Workshops included discussions, game creation and development,

as well as playing games previously developed by Matheson Marcault.

• So far they have worked with:

- young children from Ideas Store Watney Market

- older people from Prime Time Club, Ideas Store Watney Market

- children and young people at Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre

- children from St Peter’s After School Club

- young people from The Rooted Forum girl’s youth group at Tarling East

Community Centre

• The artists have also met the Tennis Manager to discuss how players might

use and interact with the hoarding adjacent to the tennis courts.

32

Hoarding Commission

Methodology / Community involvement

• Following the workshops, Holly and Sophie have developed and tried out

games that fit several different themes including games about nature,

monsters and colours.

• The games are simple physical games that can be played on your own or in

small groups, with no special equipment. For example:

- COLOUR SPOTS: When you're about to leave, pick two colours - say, blue and

orange. One player looks for blue things; the other looks for orange. Who can spot

the most things in their colour before you leave the park?

- MONSTER HUNTER: Choose your favourite monster! [image showing a selection

of 8-10 monsters]. Make a face to copy that monster - can everyone else guess

which monster you picked?

Programme

• They will continue with play testing the games on Wednesday 7 June

between 16:00 and 17:00. The games and instructions will be formed into

visual imagery for the hoarding. Installation is anticipated in June.

• The initial designs will be shared with the CLWG and a launch event held

once installed.

Permanent Integrated Commission

The Selection Process

• The selection panel was held on the 26 January – representatives were

invited from LBTH (unable to attend due to prior engagement) and the

CLWG (no response), a representative from a local arts organisation

attended with Tideway staff.

• The site specific narratives of the HIS relate to the close historical links with

mercantile and dock communities that have been associated with the

contrasting impact of former British maritime power and trading empire on

different ethnic, social and economic groups, locally and internationally.

Artist & Proposal

• Hew Locke, an artist with an international profile, has been appointed. His

proposal comprises a series of unique cast bronze boats representative of

the history of the Thames and shifting population of the East End, placed

on low plinths around the foreshore site. Creating a trail through the

foreshore site, linking the new public realm with the park.

• These currently include: a Tug, Chinese Junk, Thames 19th Century

Paddle Cruiser, John Hawkins (slave ship), Thames Barge and a

Bangladeshi river boat.

Permanent Integrated Commission

Methodology and Community Involvement

• Hew has been gathering information on the appropriate heritage of the

boats, their decoration and symbolism. Histories will be suggested by

specific decorative details and cargos which has been the focus of his

consultation.

• Hew has undertaken significant research with guilds and companies

(Watermen & Lightermen, Hudson Co, East India Company, Thames Iron

Works), history from the Elizabethan period – including the various waves

of immigration and different diaspora groups in the area.

• Further research includes visits to St Matthias Church (built by the East

India Co.), St John’s Churchyard Wapping and its sailors’ gravestones, and

St Paul’s Church Shadwell where Captain Cook worshipped.

• Hew has met with and consulted: the Maritime Museum and Museum of

London; the Boitok Group (St Hilda’s East Community Centre), the

Coriander Club (Spitalfields City Farm) and the Chinese Association.

• Future consultation is planned with the Hermitage Community Moorings

and Tarling East Community Centre.
