City of London Corporation seeks partner for former Barking Power Station site

The City of London Corporation has announced that it is looking for a long-term partner for the former Barking Power Station site in East London. A news release on the corporation's newsroom describes the project as one of East London's most significant regeneration opportunities and says the search for a partner has begun.

The site covers 42 acres. According to the release, it is set to become a major hub for investment and growth, providing high-quality jobs. The excerpt available is short and breaks off at that point, so details such as the timetable, the kind of partner being sought or what would be built on the land are not given.

The release is one of several listed on the corporation's newsroom page. The others cover different subjects, including the removal of Wanstead Park's Grade II listed Grotto from the Heritage at Risk Register and the Lord Mayor's pageant. No publication date for the Barking item appears in the material.
