Existing Joint Working Arrangements Appendix B – Existing joint working arrangements As well as having the Mayor, business and borough representation on the Board, the London Enterprise Partnership will engage with existing local and sub regional partnerships as appropriate. Existing relationships are outlined in more detail below. The Mayor working with business The Mayor has a strong track record of working with businesses. The Mayor has a number of formal and informal mechanisms for business engagement. Formal mechanisms include: . Quarterly meetings with the London Business Advisory Council . Annual meetings with the International Business Advisory Council . Twice-yearly meetings with Business Improvement Districts . Ongoing one to one meetings with business leaders and one-off events . Annual Business Question Time event held to engage directly with SMEs (this year attended by 600 business representatives) The Mayor also has a private sector team dedicated to building and maintaining relationships with business. Through this team the Mayor has established particular initiatives with a business interface such as the Mayor’s Fund and working with businesses to promote the London Living Wage and apprenticeships. London Boroughs working with business London Boroughs have numerous interfaces with businesses. The White Paper sets out the important role that local authorities play in supporting local growth including leadership and coordination, supply of land, an asset base, local infrastructure investment, regeneration and service delivery. Boroughs and sub-regional partnerships work with businesses through their Business Boards, Partnerships and inward investment agencies. London Boroughs also work with business in areas such as: . Business continuity planning . Supply chain support for SMEs . Town Centre Initiatives . Taking an “ambassadorial” role . Building trust with local business leaders . Creating local job opportunities through inward investment . Initiating collaboration between business and higher and further education Through the established Local Strategic Partnerships Boroughs are able to engage with other members of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors. London boroughs and the GLA Group are also major employers in their own right with economic development opportunities presented by responsible procurement, training interventions and support for London’s Living Wage. Sub-regional partnerships There are five sub-regions in London as set out in the London Plan with existing strong sub regional arrangements working with Boroughs, businesses and the Higher Education Sector - North London Strategic Alliance, South London Partnership, Thames Gateway London Partnership, West London Alliance and Central London Forward.

  • London in Focus – an Insight Into Our Work in This Iconic City and the Greater London Region
    ISSUE 3 - 2019 GRAHAM NEWS AND UPDATES FROM LONDON Introduction Welcome to the third edition of London in Focus – an insight into our work in this iconic city and the Greater London region It has been over two years since our last instalment of London in Focus. During the intervening period, we’ve witnessed a plethora of seismic events, from the vote in favour of leaving the European Union, to the election of Labour’s Sadiq Khan as London Mayor, a snap General Election and the tragedy at Grenfell. Nationally and globally, it has been an era of unprecedented political and economic upheaval. Naturally, investors, developers and public bodies continue to exhibit a degree of caution with regards to capital programmes, infrastructure schemes and routes to market. In terms of the broader health of our economy, construction is often viewed as an accurate barometer. Clearly the industry has slowed in comparison to the spikes of previous years, but the outlook, particularly in London, appears healthy, even optimistic. From our point of view, we’ve enjoyed sustained momentum within the city and the wider region. In parallel, we’ve grown considerably as a Group, recording an annual turnover of £767m for 2018, with a healthy cash balance sheet that puts us in a strong financial position. From the platform of our Old Jewry office, we have completed a range of stellar developments across the city, and its surrounding boroughs, while our order book for the next three years is full of high-profile, cutting edge schemes. Our portfolio features construction, refurbishment and estate rationalisation projects for a range of high-profile universities including UCL and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, while we are currently upgrading QMUL’s School of Mathematical Sciences.

  • Statement of Common Ground with Bexley
    Statement of Common Ground between LB Southwark and LB Bexley November 2019 1 Introduction This Statement of Common Ground (SCG) addresses the strategic matters specific to Southwark and Bexley. This SCG has been prepared by Southwark Council in agreement with the London Borough of Bexley. The purpose of the SCG is to document the cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address them. This SCG ensures that the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have been met. The NPPF states, “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” Southwark Council engages with other boroughs and the City of London through regular meetings either between officers or elected members with formalised governance arrangements such as the London Councils Leaders’ Committee, Association of London Borough Planning Officers, the Cross River Partnership, and the South East London Duty to Cooperate Group. We also maintain correspondence between planning departments on a variety of issues and projects and organise additional meetings on strategic planning matters when needed. Figure 1: Locations of Southwark and Bexley within Greater London. 2 Strategic Geography London Borough of Southwark Southwark is a densely populated and diverse inner London borough set over almost 30km of land to the south of the River Thames. Home to over 314,000 people, the borough is a patchwork of communities set over 23 diverse wards. Whilst the northern part of the borough already enjoys excellent transport links to the rest of London, the south is due to benefit from the extension of the Bakerloo Line, which will open up areas including the Old Kent Road to new growth.

  • North London Joint Waste Strategy - SEA Draft, May 2008
    The North London Joint Waste Strategy - SEA Draft, May 2008 - North London Joint Waste Strategy SEA Draft May 2008 North London Waste Authority Unit 169, Lee Valley Technopark Ashley Road Tottenham N17 9LN Page 1 The North London Joint Waste Strategy - SEA Draft, May 2008 - FOREWORD Managing North London’s Waste The seven North London boroughs and the North London Waste Authority have achieved much in recent years, through co-ordinated and targeted action on waste prevention, recycling and composting. Our services have never been better. This strategy will be the foundation of still greater improvements as we start to develop and implement the next generation of waste services that will treat waste as a resource and will minimise environmental impacts, particularly those which may contribute to climate change. Above all we will ensure a balanced approach, with value for money on behalf of local council tax payers being essential if waste is truly to be managed in the best interests of North London. This work, however, will need everyone to play their part – all residents, all businesses, all local groups and organisations, and all public services must work to minimise the amount of waste we produce and maximise the amount we recycle and compost. I hope very much you will join us in this endeavour.

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey Civic Service attended in Civic State by The Lord Mayor of Westminster Councillor Audrey Lewis and Councillors of the City of Westminster Sunday 6 th July 2014 11.00 am THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER Westminster first achieved the status of a city in 1540 when, for only ten years, it became a bishopric. Its first recorded civic administration dates from 1585, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when an Act authorised the establishment of a Court of Burgesses ‘for the good government of the City of Westminster’. While Queen Elizabeth I was creating mayors elsewhere in England, she was concerned that a mayor in Westminster might challenge the authority of the monarch in her own capital city, and she therefore appointed instead the High Steward of Westminster Abbey as Chairman of her newly created Court of Burgesses. The first High Steward to chair the new Court of Burgesses was the Queen’s First Minister, William Cecil, Lord Burleigh. The Court of Burgesses was an administrative body which dealt with public health and morality, planning permissions, the prevention and punishment of crime, and the regulation of weights and measures. It comprised twelve Burgesses appointed by the Dean—one for each ward. However, when the London Government Act of 1899 created twenty-eight Metropolitan Borough Councils, each having an elected Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, the authority of the Dean and the High Steward in secular affairs ceased. The last High Steward who was also effectively Mayor was Lord Salisbury, who was then also Prime Minister. The Duke of Norfolk was the first Mayor of Westminster.
