Local London supports boroughs by advocating potential policy solutions to mutual challenges.
Local London acts as champion and voice for this sub-region. We use our collective influence to lobby London and Central Government decision makers and campaign for change.
We speak up on a range of issues to ensure that our member boroughs and partners can deliver good growth to benefit our residents.
As a group of boroughs, there is potential to explore common issues, share learning and put forward policy ideas to decision-makers at London and national levels.
This work amplifies and complements borough advocacy, articulating issues which have an impact beyond individual boroughs and where our collective voice can achieve a greater impact.
Sharing best practice
Across our sub-region, boroughs and partners are delivering innovative and effective solutions.
Where good practice exists, there are opportunities to share and learn to respond to mutual challenges, and to pool resources, capacity and insight to inform policy development, lobbying and bidding activities.


Harnessing our collective voice
By working together, to bring our collective voice and influence to bear on London and national government, we can achieve a lot more for the sub-region.
Local London is developing a suite of policy position papers which together will form a prospectus for the sub-region.
All policies are developed alongside borough officers and signed off by borough leaders through Local London’s Joint Committee.
Our Work and Policy Statements
Our Local Skills Improvement Plan
Our employer-led and data-driven Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) identified skills gaps across five priority sectors. We are working with businesses, stakeholders, and education and training bodies to close these skills gaps.

Digital Strategy
The availability of world class digital infrastructure is key to delivering economic prosperity and efficient public services. There are over 100,000 premises in the Local London sub-region unable to access gigabit capable services. Our sub-regional strategy sets out best practice with learning from our boroughs and beyond to help lever in investment and address our digital divide.

Transport Policy Position
Local London boroughs have experienced significant demographic change and population growth, above the national average, making it the fastest growing part of London. However, investment in transport infrastructure has not kept pace with this growth.
