I am sure most of you are already aware that, in December 2017, Bexley published an ambitious Growth Strategy. This outlines our vision for the next 30 years and sets out how, with investment in the right infrastructure in the right places, up to 31,500 new homes and 17,500 new jobs can be secured across the 03 borough by 2050. This year we have more exciting news, having recently established our own development company, BexleyCo, chaired by former Deputy London Mayor, Richard Blakeway. We are also developing plans with partners to create a Place and Making Institute in the north of the borough to help address the construction skills shortage. If it gets the green light, the Institute would sit alongside The Thames Innovation Centre which is, after ten years of operation, being refurbished and rebranded to enhance its current offer and create a high tech, creative environment on part of the ground floor. This upgraded environment will enable the Centre to keep pace with new technologies and attract more entrepreneurs from this fast growing sector to build and establish their businesses here in Bexley, including, we hope, many of our local residents. The Bexley Skills Charter is a further initiative to help local businesses and residents benefit from the opportunities created by growth. The Charter aims to bring together organisations in Bexley including businesses, training providers, schools and colleges to help the borough thrive as a place of opportunity from education to employment. To find out more, please visit www. bexleyskillscharter.org.uk As always, we are keen to work closely with local businesses, support their growth and learn how we might support their development. Visit www. bexleyforbusiness.co.uk for information on how we can help or contact me directly. Before closing, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of my predecessor, ATION: Cllr Linda Bailey, who is here tonight. Linda has been the driving force behind MORE INFOPRM FOR bexley4business events such as this and has worked tirelessly over nine years as Cabinet Member to support businesses and positive growth.

  • Bexley Growth Strategy
    www.bexley.gov.uk Bexley Growth Strategy December 2017 Bexley Growth Strategy December 2017 Leader’s Foreword Following two years of detailed technical work and consultation, I am delighted to present the Bexley Growth Strategy that sets out how we plan to ensure our borough thrives and grows in a sustainable way. For centuries, Bexley riverside has been a place of enterprise and endeavour, from iron working and ship fitting to silk printing, quarrying and heavy engineering. People have come to live and work in the borough for generations, taking advantage of its riverside locations, bustling town and village centres and pleasant neighbourhoods as well as good links to London and Kent, major airports, the Channel rail tunnel and ports. Today Bexley remains a popular place to put down roots and for businesses to start and grow. We have a wealth of quality housing and employment land where large and small businesses alike are investing for the future. We also have a variety of historic buildings, neighbourhoods and open spaces that provide an important link to our proud heritage and are a rich resource. We have great schools and two world-class performing arts colleges plus exciting plans for a new Place and Making Institute in Thamesmead that will transform the skills training for everyone involved in literally building our future. History tells us that change is inevitable and we are ready to respond and adapt to meet new opportunities. London is facing unprecedented growth and Bexley needs to play its part in helping the capital continue to thrive. But we can only do that if we plan carefully and ensure we attract the right kind of quality investment supported by the funding of key infrastructure by central government, the Mayor of London and other public bodies.

  • Bexley Bird Report 2016
    Bexley Bird Report 2016 Kingfisher –Crossness – Donna Zimmer Compiled by Ralph Todd June 2017 Bexley Bird Report 2016 Introduction This is, I believe, is the very first annual Bexley Bird Report, it replaces a half yearly report previously produced for the RSPB Bexley Group Newsletter/web-site and Bexley Wildlife web- site. I shall be interested in any feedback to try and measure how useful, informative or welcome it is. I suspect readers will be surprised to read that 153 different species turned up across the Borough during the 12 months of 2016. What is equally impressive is that the species reports are based on just over 13,000 individual records provided by nearly 80 different individuals. Whilst every endeavour has been made to authenticate the records they have not been subject to the rigorous analysis they would by the London Bird Club (LBC) as would normally be the case prior to publication in the annual London Bird Report (LBR). This report has also been produced in advance of the final data being available from LBC as this is not available until mid-summer the following year – it is inevitable therefore that some records might be missing. I am, however, confident no extra species would be added. The purpose of the report is four-fold:- To highlight the extraordinary range of species that reside, breed, pass through/over or make temporary stops in the Borough To hopefully stimulate a greater interest not only in the birds but also the places in which they are found. Bexley Borough has a wide range of open spaces covering a great variety of habitat types.
