The Manifesto for Londoners

The Manifesto for Londoners sets out London Councils' case for devolution of powers from Whitehall and quangos to London boroughs to enable us to meet the economic and social challenge of doing more, and better, with less.

• Read the manifesto in full

Opens in a new windowThe manifesto examines the position of London as uniquely suited for devolution, looking at its strengths and notable successes as well as the difficulties posed by its diversity and inequality.

To help London boroughs deliver more for Londoners, the manifesto sets out some key areas where devolution would improve services and reduce costs:

• Health and social care
• Worklessness
• Adult skills
• Local policing
• Community justice and offender management
• Child safety and achievement
• Transport
• Housing and investment
• Climate change and retrofitting
• Public places and public behaviour
• The deal for devolution

Next steps

Behind the manifesto, we are working towards more detailed business cases that show how boroughs, building on what they have already put in place individually and in groups, can deliver for Londoners.
