Thames Valley Leaders Urge Government Action on Fiscal Controls and Investment Targets
What happened
Business leaders have urged the government to take action regarding investment targets in major urban centers, including Thames Valley and London. A survey of 500 businesses, conducted for advisory firm BDO LLP, found that all respondents in Thames Valley supported giving more fiscal control to regional mayors and local authorities. Leaders stated that this greater control over locally raised tax revenues would positively impact business growth over the next three years.

Why it matters
The calls emphasize that business growth is contingent on policy stability and certainty regarding the operating environment. Leaders specifically called on the government to prioritize lower energy and employment costs during the Autumn Budget.
The City of London collaborates with the government to drive economic growth, noting that stability in the tax system is key to financial services success.
