Your request
I'm appalled that the New Year fireworks began with "The mayor of London presents". As a London taxpayer I find it reprehensible that the ego of the present mayor took precedence over the London people. How much extra did this add to the bill? If a greeting needed to be used it should have said "London Taxpayers presents". I am curious as to how taxes are being used as I haven't seen such a grubby, unsafe London for many years
Our response
The impressive drone fleet was included within the creative elements for the overall show. The drone display introducing the show and referencing the office of the Mayor of London was delivered with no additional cost.
