The London Stansted Cambridge Consortium (LSCC) was formed in June 2013 as a strategic partnership of public and private organisations covering the area north from the Royal Docks, Tech City, the City Fringe, Kings Cross, and the Olympic Park, up through the Lee Valley, the M11, A1 and A10 road, the East Coast and West Anglia Mainline rail corridors to Stevenage, Harlow and Stansted, and through to Cambridge and Peterborough.
The consortium brings together public and private sector organisations which have the common aim of seeking economic growth, higher employment rates, providing places for people and business while preserving the quality and character of the corridor.
The partnership was formed to organise and promote what is a clear economic area, with strong inter-connections; commuting to work and learn patterns, clusters of industries and supply chains.
The area is linked by the West Anglia rail lines, as well as key road networks such as the A10 and M11. It is has a population of over 2 million people and growing. It is home to strong business clusters, ranging from high-tech digital and bio-medical to logistical, resource recovery and food manufacturing.

The consortium’s focus is to promote the economic development of the area, unlocking the potential of this successful but under developed area, without compromising the existing quality of life.
The London Stansted Cambridge corridor is the most exciting and dynamic area in the UK, yet its potential is not yet fully revealed or recognised.
The growth of the area can only be fully achieved through co-operation because the drivers of growth cut across municipal borders – it spans 16 Local Authorities, London and three Counties, and four LEP areas.
Local Governments are leading a consortium to promote and develop the corridor and are seeking partnership from the LEPs, Counties, GLA, Business, Institutions, and National Government.
