Our Vision will set out our plans for achieving sustainable and inclusive growth for the 2.7 million people in our boroughs.
Local London is the fastest growing sub-region in the capital, comprising nine dynamic local authorities in north east and south east London.
We are developing our Vision for the sub-region to highlighting why this is an exciting pace to live, work, invest and do business.
Our new Vision will set out our plan for creating sustainable and inclusive growth that benefits all our communities in Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Bromley, Enfield, Greenwich, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.
This autumn we will publish our refreshed Vision, reflecting our sub-region’s shared aspirations for unlocking our potential.
We have partnered with Centre for London to create our Vision, which will be a blueprint for unlocking inclusive and sustainable growth in our boroughs. Reflecting wider policy strategies for London and the UK, our Vision will be built around four key missions.
Over the next five years, our Vision will set the direction for an ambitious programme that will boost productivity and skills, unlocks our infrastructure potential and drives investment into our diverse and dynamic economy.
