Committee details
Brexit Commission
Purpose of committee
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.
