The 20% local employment social clause has been a minor success. I have lived in the docklands all my life and there has always been an emphasis in the communities, rather than on the part of community representatives, on trying to secure short-term construction jobs, which I always questioned. We had some successes through the business forum of the DDDA. Should there be a greater emphasis on the social clause in the new business under the legislation? This would tie the education and employment clauses to addressing long-term employment.
