POSTPONED: NOT Mon 21 July: Deputy Mayor for Transport on the 2050 London Infrastructure Plan

"Dear all,

"I need to apologise personally for this, but we need to slightly postpone the date for our 2050 Plan discussion planned for 21 July.

"The date was based on a mid-July launch date but it is not now being launched until late July due to changes to the Mayor's diary.

"I am conscious many people will be away in August, so we will find a new date in Sept/Oct. 

"Sorry again, and hope to see you in the early autumn.

"Best, Isabel"

Monday 21 July

at GLA’s City Hall

Isabel Dedring

London’s Deputy Mayor for Transport

"An update on the Mayor’s 2050 Infrastructure Plan"

"Viewing infrastructure as critical to maintaining and enhancing London’s position as a globally competitive, liveable and world class city, the Mayor has commissioned a Long Term Infrastructure Investment Plan for London.

"This will set out London’s strategic infrastructure requirements to 2050 across transport, energy, water, waste, ICT, green infrastructure and in part housing and schools, with assessment of the magnitude of spend involved and the funding and financing options to pay for them.

"The plan aims to ensure that the infrastructure London needs to meet the demands of its growing population and remain a leading world city is clearly articulated and to demonstrate to Government, Londoners and investors that infrastructure is a key priority for London.

"Isabel Dedring will give an update on the plan’s progress with a particular focus on the transport infrastructure needed to maintain London as a world class city."

City Hall is on the south side of Tower Bridge, ten minutes walk from London Bridge station.
