The London-Stansted-Cambridge-Corridor Growth Commission will be launched on 01 December 2015.
As part of London, and with a successful tech-based economy in its own right, the London – Stansted – Cambridge Corridor could achieve significant international success over the next thirty years – but there is a need to articulate how this will happen. The LSCC Growth Commission will work to ensure that public and private sector leaders and understand the potential of the Corridor, and there is agreement on the key collaborations and actions needed to realise this.
Mission

- Expert evidence: Provide independent analysis and assessment on how more growth can be fostered and accommodated while enhancing the corridor as a high quality, sustainable location for businesses and communities.
