Iain Tuckett
CSCB Secretary
Iain is Group Director of Coin Street and a local resident. Between 1975 and 1984, Iain led the campaign for the then derelict 13-acre ‘Coin Street site’ on London’s South Bank to be used for housing, workshops, a riverside park, and leisure uses rather than the proposed development of over 1 million square feet of offices.
Iain has overseen all property developments on the Coin Street site, including Oxo Tower Wharf, 220 social rent homes for 4 housing co-operatives, the Coin Street neighbourhood centre, Bernie Spain Gardens, and the completion of the South Bank riverside walkway.
Under Iain’s leadership, Coin Street Community Builders has worked closely with its neighbours to establish South Bank Employers’ Group in 1991, South Bank Partnership in 1995, South Bank Business Improvement District in 2014, and South Bank & Waterloo Neighbours (SoWN) in 2015. Iain was a founder member of the Development Trusts Association (now Locality) and played an active part in the formation of Social Enterprise UK.
Iain was also a founder member of the Thames Festival Trust and is a founder member and trustee of Jubilee Gardens Trust, which completed the relandscaping of the park between the London Eye and Royal Festival Hall in 2012.
