A thriving economy
We are actively working with businesses and partners to promote Investing in Hillingdon and create a thriving economy.
- We asked for residents' views on the future of the borough to help us produce a revised Local Plan, as well as feedback on our draft Uxbridge Vision to revitalise the town centre.
- We hosted a 1-day conference for investors, developers and advisors to understand more about our economic investment plans for Hillingdon.
- Working with Hillingdon Chamber of Commerce, we're using £1.1 million UK Shared Prosperity funding to support local businesses and help residents find jobs and improve their skills.
- We delivered 423 part-time day and evening adult learning courses and 123 qualification courses to help residents aged 19 and above gain new skills, get prepared for work or promoted.
- We partnered with the Good Things Foundation to provide 69 free laptops to eligible residents to help them get online and carry out simple everyday tasks.
