London councils, while implementing anti-car schemes and promoting environmental strategies, are paradoxically spending large sums on taxis for staff. Ealing Council has spent at least £30,000 on cabs over the past three years, even as it pledges to be carbon neutral by 2030. Similarly, Hackney Council has incurred nearly £20,000 in taxi expenses while advocating for reduced car use. This 'do as I say, not as I do' attitude from local authorities raises concerns about public trust and commitment to actual sustainability efforts.
