Sir Robin Wales, directly elected Mayor of Newham LBC, has called on the Chancellor to announce an enterprise zone for the borough as part of his Budget speech next week.
Sir Robin said George Osborne must ‘not lose focus on the UK's biggest regeneration project'. He said: ‘Every opportunity to secure a successful Olympic legacy for the East End should be grasped with both hands. Now is the time for the Government to do all in its power to furnish us with the tools we need to make this area attractive for employers.'
