Economic Development Strategy
The Economic Development Strategy for London 2007-2021
Strategy and Action was launched on 29 May 2007 and is available in hard copy from the Secretariat.
This document has been used to inform the development of the Post 2006 EU Funding Programmes, for example, Convergence and the Rural Development Programee for England (RDPE).
As part of the strategy development process the GovWaste team prioritised the top ten actions.
The number one priority for London is housing
- Encourage local governments and councils to plan house building schemes.
Using public money to build homes for its residents is essential to keep London an affordable place to live for key workers. One and two bedroom flats are most in demand across all areas of the city. - Encourage property business to develop land and properties in London and the surrounding areas. London is a profitable place for professional developers and builders to invest and build homes. Funding is available from specialist lenders from £500k to £2.5 million. Find out more here.
