Local Economic Assessment Baseline Study

The City Council has a new duty to conduct a Local Economic Assessment. This baseline study forms a key part of that assessment and brings together a wide range of public data on Westminster's economy.

Local Economic Assessment Baseline Study, September 2011

This study asssess Westminster's context within London, presents data on a Westminster wide basis and looks at smaller areas within the city to assess local economic performance. The study seeks to establish a robust evidence base to support our Economic Development Strategy and Local Development Framework.

The study covers three main subject areas: Businesses, Population, and Land and Property. The document provides summary statistics and analysis, along with in depth focus sections and further insight about different parts of the economy. The study demonstrates the importance of Westminster's economy, not just to our residents and businesses but to the wider UK and global economy.
