Economic development

We are committed to making sure residents benefit from Southwark's vast economic potential. Through economic development we are promoting improved employment and training opportunities for local people, inward investment, physical regeneration and sustainable business growth throughout the borough.

Our overall vision is:

• To build sustainable, inclusive and prosperous communities by reducing worklessness and sustaining high quality employment for all residents.
• To create a strong sustainable economy, with a thriving network of town centres, built on an entrepreneurial culture.
