Following the referendum on the United
Kingdom’s membership of the European Union, there is a need
for organisations to understand the emerging shape of any likely
agreement and to explore what impact that will have.
For local government, it is particularly
important to consider;
the implications of Brexit on the economy in a
the local area
the lives of residents and civil society
the delivery of public services.
To help with that process, Mayor John
Biggs has announced the launch of the Tower Hamlets Brexit
Commission.
The main aim will be to examine the
impact that Brexit will have in these key areas. It will consider
how statutory partners, local businesses, residents and community
groups can work together to minimise any negative impact on the
borough, while taking advantage of potential opportunities.
