The Mayor’s Outer London Commission Final Report

Recommendations

Info

On the basis of existing evidence how much employment growth might be expected in Outer London? Scenario 1: continuation of 1989 – 2006/7 historic trends in London employment and no change in outer London’s share of this = 4,600 more jobs pa (in context of 22,000 more jobs pa across London as a whole): a static view of how employment might change, taking no account of the changing importance of different sectors in the future Scenario 2: 2008 London Plan forecast based on a triangulation of now dated historic trends, estimates of development capacity and improvements to public transport accessibility = 10,000 more jobs pa: takes account of changing relationships between different sectors but does not reflect the most up-to-date information on economic trends Scenario 3: Oxford Economics 2009 forecast = 10,500 more jobs pa: an up-to-date, top-down, macro-economic view but does not reflect local infrastructure investment and development capacity New London Plan forecast based on new employment, development capacity and public transport capacity data: work in progress….. But could be 6,000 – 8,000 more jobs pa, perhaps spread across almost all outer London boroughs. Conclusion: forecasts taking account a range of factors all suggest growth above historic trend
Consultation Messages: Economy •OL competes only to a limited degree with Inner London (IL) and much more directly with the Outer Metropolitan Area (OMA) •Concern that the “growth hub” concept could undermine and/or lead to neglect of other parts of outer London •Link a more ‘organic’ type of growth to an improving town centre network •Need to re-invent, re-brand and market parts of outer London and its distinct offers •Outer London needs to improve skills to reinforce its new offer, e.g. HE/FE •Potential for growth in “green” industries, creative industries, logistics, servicing the residential population, public sector & knowledge sectors •Must recognise the wider economic base of OL, seek to enhance its strengths and so provide greater economic resilience for London as a whole
