The Local Democracy, Economic Development & Construction Act 2009 required local authorities to prepare a local economic assessment (LEA). The LEAs purpose is to provide local partners with a clear picture of the economic conditions in an area
and how they affect the wellbeing of residents and businesses. It should identify economic linkages between the area and the wider economy, comparative strengths and weaknesses and the resulting challenges and opportunities; and constraints to growth and employment. The Camden LEA was published in May 2011.

Camden’s Local Economic Assessment (LEA) describes the position of Camden in the London economy and discusses the economic challenges and opportunities for Camden. The LEA was to provide the Council and its partners with a sound understanding of the borough’s economic position and to inform local decisions on economic development and social policy in the context of significantly reduced public funding. Local authorities are required to prepare an LEA under the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009.
