Invitation to attend workshop on consultation of LDA's Investment Strategy

27th November 2008

The London Development Agency (LDA), the Mayor’s organisation responsible for jobs, skills and growth in London, is undergoing a major transformation and is calling for your input as it redefines its vision and objectives.

As part of this transformation the LDA has produced a draft Investment Strategy for the next four years and would like your views to determine how best to use its resources and influence.  We will be structuring our discussion around our priorities of jobs, skills and growth and will be looking to address particular questions with regards to our approach, policy, programmes, evaluation and partnership working.

The initial draft of the plan is available on-line at www.lda.gov.uk/investmentstrategy.  As in previous years we welcome comments on this and you can enter your feedback on the LDA website.  In addition various organisations are being invited to take part in a briefing and group discussion. 

The workshop will provide a valuable opportunity to explore the analysis and plans in more depth.
