The Future of Freight in Central London

The City of London Corporation are hosting a Central London Freight Conference on 18th June. Central London faces a unique challenge. We must deliver Healthy Streets to improve air quality, reduce road danger and make our city a pleasant place to walk and cycle whilst allowing the servicing of offices, retail and restaurants to allow the city to flourish.
