The Mayor's Economic Development Strategy
A verbal report will be given.
Minutes:

There was a general feeling emerging that the Strategy focussed on central London and the Financial and Business industries and that there was insufficient focus and support for the outer London Boroughs.
A consultation document had been received by the Council and the deadline for responses was 12 January 2010. The draft response would be circulated to Board members for comment prior to submission.
RESOLVED:
That the verbal update provided be noted.
