Can London do more? Work together, work smarter. Innovation, collaboration and alignment to increase impact. Maximise our combined purchasing power via local procurement and use of “social clauses” Develop a shared “London voice” to lever real change to the design and delivery of public services in London. Perhaps setting a big challenge for LAs and partners to do deals, work together, stop complaining and sort things out – cos govt won’t come to the rescue!”
