Call for more powers for London

31st October 2014

The Centre for London has called for a radical transfer of powers from Whitehall to London's City Hall to tackle the capital's housing crisis, improve its public services and invest in its infrastructure. The think-tank believes that London should be given more power over its taxes - particularly property taxes - to ensure that it can meet its housing needs. The centre is also recommending that towns and districts close to the capital should be able to choose, through local referendums, whether to become part of the capital.
