LCCI Updates

The influence blog is a monthly update on LCCI’s work acting as the voice of London businesses. 

In our latest submission to TfL, LCCI welcomed a new cycle and pedestrian crossing between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe, on the condition that the new crossing is built alongside road crossings further East.

We welcome the renewed focus on skills and the publication of the first dedicated citywide Skills for Londoners Strategy. London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) will look to play an active role in contributing to a successful skills landscape in London, including through our relaunched Work and Employment Policy Advisory Committee, our research work and polling. 

In our latest submission to Transport for London, LCCI broadly supports plans for the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street so long as concerns - particularly around freight access - are properly addressed.

LCCI’s latest report proposes that consideration is given to use a small portion of ‘brownspace’ in the 22% of Greater London that is Metropolitan Green Belt for the specific need of affordable housing, to rent, for London’s blue light emergency services.

Responding to the news that the UK government and the European Commission have reached a deal to conclude the first phase of the Brexit negotiations, Chief Executive of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Colin Stanbridge said: “News of a breakthrough will be welcomed by the business community but the tough part starts now.

“Trade talks must now address future access arrangement at ports and other points of entry for goods as well as ensuring a realistic transitional period for business thereby avoiding a cliff edge.”
