The London Aggregates Working Party

A key advisory body to both the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the Mayor is the London Aggregates Working Party (LAWP). The working party comprises an equal number of representatives from the aggregates industry and the local authorities, together with representatives from recycling, agriculture, the Port of London Authority, English, Welsh and Scottish Railway, DCLG, Government Office for London (GOL) and the Mayor.

The role of LAWP is to monitor the supply and demand for aggregate - including assessing the potential for supply of secondary and recycled materials, reserves (land bank) of primary aggregate and to advise the Mayor on the inclusion of aggregates policies in the London Plan.

The LAWP meets approximately three times a year and the Secretary of the Working Party is funded through a grant from DCLG to the Greater London Authority.
