The Mayor has recently proposed a Council Tax rise (Band D increase of £20 in each of the next three years) to help fund Transport for London and has also included a £10 increase in additional funding for policing within his draft budget.
Londoners paying the Band D Council Tax rate will pay an extra £31.93 on average in 2022-23 compared to the previous year.
What will the budget mean for vital services for Londoners, like transport and policing?
How will potential increases in Council Tax and transport fares impact the lives of Londoners?
The London Assembly Budget and Performance Committee will tomorrow discuss the Mayor’s GLA Group Budget for 2022-23.
The guests are:
- Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London
- David Bellamy, The Mayor’s Chief of Staff, GLA
- David Gallie, Executive Director of Resources, GLA
- Enver Enver, Assistant Director Group Finance and Performance, GLA
The Mayor and representatives from the GLA will discuss all functional body budgets, which encompasses transport, policing, fire, the London Legacy Development Corporation and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 05 January 2022, 10.00am in G02/G03/G04, London Fire Brigade Headquarters (169 Union Street SE1 0LL).
