The Case for Central London, March 2010

The publication of The Case for Central London  was the inaugural step in CLF's Promoting Central London Campaign which commenced in March 2010.  This pamphlet aims to raise awareness with the incoming Government on priority central London issues and invites them to work in partnership with the CLF boroughs to tackle a variety of challenges: chronic transport infrastructure deficit, pressure on roadspace and public realm, worklessness and economic deprivation, high cost of housing and insufficient supply, finding an equitable funding regime.

The pamphlet also highlights case studies from the boroughs which demonstrate how the central London local authorities, given the right flexibilities and resources, have been able to find innovative ways to help their residents and communities prosper.
