The Mayor's Role

How do you see the Mayor's role?

I will make information about Mayoral advisors available on the web along with their register of interests. I will be a Mayor who listens to Londoners and I will put an end to the current system of cronyism and sham consultations.
The Mayor’s job is to deliver the services Londoners need and to provide leadership to take the city forward. Londoners should always be the Mayor’s priority.
As Mayor I will be in regular contact with the boroughs to engage with councils and communities. I know that local people know their own needs best and often have the best solutions which I will take on board.
The current set-up at City Hall places too much power in the hands of one person. I will push for additional powers for the Assembly, including the power to amend the Mayor's strategies and the budget. I will ensure that planning decision meetings are held in public.
