Manifesto in summary

To better manage public space:
Re-write licensing regulations to allow London boroughs to deal more appropriately with, for example, lap dancing clubs and bars and cafes, and to set boundaries on the extent and scale of late night drinking in their areas.

 

To simplify and better incentivise public finances in difficult times:

• Change the basis on which population is counted for RSG to better reflect city populations
• Freeze RSG until a new system that has the active support of every region of England can be designed
• Ensure that a reformed system properly reflects regional variations in costs
• Allow boroughs to retain increases in council tax that comes from increased home building in their area for at least six years.

 

To share the benefits of devolution:

• Wind up the Government Office for London (GoL), de-commission some of its functions and transfer remaining functions between central government and boroughs and the Mayor of London
• Where devolution exposes duplication in resources, savings should be shared between central and local government.
