Responding to the launch of a new London Infrastructure Framework by the Mayor of London and London Councils, John Dickie, Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said: “We welcome the ambition of this framework and its commitment to work in partnership with the private sector. This will be vital to unlock investment and deliver the projects that will support London’s future growth, competitiveness and resilience.
“The priority now is getting the Government to give London the powers to finance and fund this infrastructure investment that will drive growth across the UK. Fiscal devolution and the ability to deploy innovative funding models in particular will be key to get shovels in the ground.”
