The ‘Waltham Forest Growth Commission’ has now published its full report which sets out a five year plan for economic growth for the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Waltham Forest currently has one of the smallest economies in London. The Council appointed an independent commission of experts, including Alexander Jan of Arup, to plot an economic course for the Borough for the next five years.
Alex undertook the pro bono work to support Waltham Forest Council, which was keen to draw on local knowledge and national expertise to ensure that the Borough can create the conditions that will help the economy grow for the benefit of residents.
As one of four members of the commission, Arup was delighted to make Alex available to draw on the firm’s specialist knowledge in policy, economics and regeneration.
