The Leytonstone area is undergoing unprecedented change and will be facing a

host of opportunities over the near and long term future. Businesses will see

temporary as well as permanent changes. The Forum will initially be led by

significant businesses in the Leytonstone area. Whilst changes may affect

individual businesses in different ways, the Forum will act for the greater good

of the area for business as a whole, which will have a knock-on effect for every

business. Individual business issues such as relocation will not be discussed in

the main body of the meeting, though those that wish can discuss informally

after the meeting.
