Cllr Claire Holland emphasized the importance of the government's devolution agenda, stating it presents a unique opportunity to enhance London's devolution settlement and maximize the city’s potential for economic growth.
London Councils highlighted the current lack of formal structures for decision-making, noting that reliance on voluntary arrangements hampers effective delivery, unlike regions with Mayoral Combined Authorities.
The white paper's exploration of an integrated settlement for London from 2026-27 is a crucial step towards providing the city with sufficient funding flexibility and certainty.
London Councils called for a stable long-term partnership between boroughs and the Mayor of London to ensure coordinated decision-making, which is essential for better outcomes for residents.
