Croydon council has given planning consent to a 389,000ft2 鈥減ublic service delivery hub鈥 in its town centre

The scheme is one of the first to emerge from a 拢450m joint venture between the council and John Laing, the UK鈥檚 first local authority asset-backed vehicle, which is designed to offer councils a bigger share of development profits on sites they own. Work is expected to start in early 2010, subject to Greater London Authority approval.
