South East England is the most successful regional economy in the UK, after London. However, beneath the headlines and averages lie substantial variations and considerable concentrations of deprivation and exclusion. A key objective of both the Regional Assembly's South East Plan and the Regional Economic Strategy, published by SEEDA, is to support and develop the regional economy so that it contributes to national growth while also following the principle of sustainable development.
