Despite the best efforts of Tower Hamlets council sometimes a Freedom of Information (FoI) request does set some information free.
In this case FOI 23696441 has revealed that £2,660,000 has been spent on the Liveable Streets programme and £978,000 on consultation.
The table below gives the numbers but if you add up the amounts you get £2,260,000 which does not tally with the £2,660,000 total quoted on the FoI itself.
| LS Area | Amount |
|---|---|
| LS Barkantine | £166,000 |
| LS Bethnal Green | £466,000 |
| LS Bow | £31,000 |
| LS Brick Lane | £250,000 |
| LS Old Ford West | £53,000 |
| LS Shadwell | £50,000 |
| LS Wapping | £414,000 |
| Non-area specific | £830,000 |
| Total | £2,260,000 |
Probably a typo.
Or LBTH has now started to round project costs down or up to within £400k either way.
Or is there a spare £400,000 knocking around that is not-itemised but is on a spreadsheet somewhere?
Moley is still trying to work out where £414,000 has been spent on Liveable Streets in Wapping. Any residents got any ideas?
