Blue ribbon network policies

The Blue Ribbon Network has an essential role to play in delivering all the key elements of the Mayor's vision of an exemplary, sustainable world city.

Water is a valuable and scarce asset within London and its use must be set within sustainable limits which prioritise those uses and activities that need a waterside location.

The Mayor has a visionary approach to the Blue Ribbon Network, taking the water as the starting point for decision making. This approach is encapsulated by the following Blue Ribbon Network Principles, which reflect the objectives set out in the Introduction, and which should structure relevant decision-making.
