Steve Nelson's talk on Quangos
Quangos - meaning Quasi-Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisations - were the subject of Steve Nelson's presentation to members on the 13th May. So often shrouded in mystery to outsiders, it was a good opportunity to find out what these seemingly impenetrable and inaccessible bodies actually do. Starting with the Government Office for London, Steve took us on a brief but informative tour of many of the quangos that can have some bearing on our day to day business activity in South East London and beyond. He touched on the activities of the GLA, LDA, and explained about LAA's and LSP's. Moving on to the SLB, GtL, ELBA & ELBP we were soon learning about local quangos including the SEE, GLLAB, Resources Plus, GEB and TIC.
Confused? We were a little but as a result of the presentation, members were able to get a much better understanding of how these bodies work and what their various responsibilities are. Many thanks Steve!
Steve Nelson and Chairman, John Lenton
