Research will take place into, ‘Enabling capital investment by London local government’. The objectives of the research are to: identify potential barriers to capital investment by London boroughs and ways in which these could be mitigated or overcome; identify potential measures that central government could introduce in order to enable local authority capital investment; identify and draw up case studies in relation to innovative means of financing capital projects by local authorities; and consider the extent to which capital investment by London boroughs has been affected by the current economic climate and whether capital investment could potentially stimulate economic recovery.
