Looking for a job? GLLaB is here to help

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is directing more funds to reinvest into the community following an independent review and report approved at full Council on Wednesday 24 July.

The new Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charges will help to generate funding to help deliver essential infrastructure such as schools, transport links and community facilities.

The change will see an increase in charges for developers while still encouraging development across Royal Greenwich. The new rates now extend to co-living schemes and industrial developments, categories that were not covered under the previous schedule.

Councillor Anthony Okereke, the Leader of the Council said:

The Council puts skills, retraining and job creation at the front and centre of its agenda, supporting economic prosperity for all in our borough. One of our key missions is offering everyone the opportunity to secure a good job, as set out in Our Greenwich, our corporate plan.

“GLLaB is at the heart of this work, creating pathways to help people get on in life and grow the local economy. Residents can receive the support and helping hand needed, to move forward on their path to employment and realising their full potential.

“Whether you’re a resident looking for work or to retrain, or an employer looking to recruit local staff, we invite you to get in touch with GLLaB to see what they can do for you.
