Discussion | Growing London’s economy together
City Hall -in partnership with London Councils- is working on the London Growth Plan. This is a strategic document about the best way to grow London’s economy for the benefit of all Londoners.
Your experience of living and working in London will help them shape the plan.
Join the conversation:
- How do you see your future in the capital? What do you need to thrive?
- What do you like most or least about your local high street, and why?
- What does a good job or good place to work look like to you?
- What does successful economic growth look like to you? What would make you feel like you’re benefitting from it too?
Shaun from City Hall’s Economic Development team will be joining in the discussion.
The discussion ran from 31 July 2024 - 15 September 2024

Show full commentMy daughter is a wheelchair user and London is very inaccessible. It was already hard for wheelchair users to get around, but the number of bikes and scooters left all over the pavements make it worse. If Labour want more disabled people to work they need to ensure that they can get into and around London to work.

Show full commentGetting employment for young people is very difficult. Most companies now run contracted hour schemes - shifts are communicated through what’s app, shifts change at short notice and many shifts are under 6 hours to avoid companies ‘paying’ for staff breaks. Schools are pushed to focus on exams when they should be supporting students for their next steps, giving them confidence to apply for jobs and interviews. This isn’t just in London or my local area, it’s everywhere.

Community Member 1 year agoMost ‘State’/‘City’ and Council organisations are too ‘Woke’, grossly over-managed and grossly over-staffed. There needs to be a serious trim. More effective productivity is needed, with more support for capitalism.

The ‘London Weighting’ additional payments to succesful schools should be reestablished,
Those responsible for the £400B wasted on the Covid pseudemic should be punished.
