Establishing key themes for the Suburban Taskforce

The Suburban Taskforce, which comprises politicians from both Houses of Parliament, was established this year to review evidence of the state of Britain’s suburbs and make recommendations to the Government on policy initiatives to enhance them. With the “Call for Evidence” having closed in October, the APPG for London’s Planning and Built Environment hosted a public meeting on 10 December, to present and discuss the Taskforce’s emerging themes. The Taskforce is co-chaired by Dr Rupa Huq MP and David Simmons MP, assisted by UCL as Knowledge Partner and with an expert Advisory Board chaired by Rockwell’s Board Director and Head of Planning and Development, Jonathan Manns.
