The four themes of the 2009-10 plan were:
- Devolution - because we believe devolution to our boroughs ensures better results for Londoners
- Partnership - because we believe our partnership expertise delivers local feel and London scale; so driving innovation and efficiency
- Democracy and trust - because we believe clear accountability and real engagement with Londoners happens best at borough level. London boroughs aim to be every Londoners first choice for a fair hearing and a fair deal
- Resources and risks - because we believe London boroughs have the confidence and talent to take on challenges and the associated risks that others are too remote to handle.
