Our boards

The two boards below oversee the work that our team is doing. Stay up to date with the Royal Docks' progress by reading the latest meeting minutes.

Enterprise Zone Programme Board

The Royal Docks Enterprise Zone Programme Board was established in June 2023 as a joint partnership Board between the London Borough of Newham and the Greater London Authority (GLA). The Board oversees and challenges the progress of our delivery plan on a quarterly basis. It is co-chaired by the Mayor of Newham and Angus Knowles-Cutler.

Minutes of board meetings since June 2023 are available here.

The Terms of Reference of the Board and its subgroup is available here.

Officer Level Programme Board

In addition, GLA and London Borough of Newham update each other about activity within the Enterprise Zone at the Royal Docks Officer Level Programme Board Group, a subgroup of the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone Programme Board.

Minutes of board meetings since June 2023 are available here.

Previous arrangements

The London Economic Action Partnership (LEAP) was disbanded in March 2023, and worked with entrepreneurs, business, the Mayor of London, and London councils to boost jobs and economic growth across the capital. LEAP ensured scrutiny and transparency by providing strategic oversight for the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone. The GLA subsequently absorbed the responsibilities of LEAP following government guidance regarding Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP) published in April 2022.
