Meaningful answers for Richmond
July 2010
Roger Tym & Partners has been commissioned by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to undertake their Local Economic Assessment (LEA). The LEA will follow Government guidance but its primary objective is to provide meaningful answers to local questions. For Richmond this means focusing on identified key sectors, understanding the role of town centres and local shops, and exploring specific labour market issues such as home-working. A key objective of the LEA is to understand the linkages between Richmond, London, Surrey and the rest of the South East through commuting and shopping patterns, supply chains, tourism and inward investment. Ultimately, the LEA is part of the evidence base for the Community Plan and the LDF process.
RTP will also provide practical recommendations for future economic measures with a clear rationale for public intervention.
