Major Strategy Documents out for Public View

Two formative strategic documents relating to West London are now available. The West London Local Economic Assessment lays out a comprehensive analysis of our area and is a vital reference document for businesses and public sector alike. Take a look here to find a compendium of facts and trends in West London. Also just published is the West London Sub-regional Transport Plan. Put together by Transport for London in collaboration with the West London Partnership, it lays out the overall framework for transport developments in our part of London. You can view this here.
