This report provides an overview of the Renewable Energies sector and the policies affecting its development at the national, regional and local level (appendix II). This report also provides an updated Economic Profile of the borough (appendix I) and a list of sources for further information.

This report follows on from the detailed economic profile released in August 2004 (also on this page).  The 2004 Economic Profile used Census 2001 data to give a detailed in-depth analysis of the London Borough of Waltham Forest.  This report will use statistics from the Department of Work and Pensions and data from the 2003/2004 Labour Force Survey (LFS) undertaken annually by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) to build on this census data to produce a more up-to-date picture of employment, unemployment and qualification attainment of residents in the borough.

This report uses information from the Census 2001, which is now becoming widely available, along with the ODPM’s Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD 2004), the Annual Business Enquiry, Annual Labour Force Survey, Office of National Statistics and the Greater London Authority.
