London Assembly Annual Report 2020 - 2021

Despite a torrid year for the capital, the report features some memorable achievements, which include:

• Questioning the Minister for Vaccine Deployment, Nadhim Zahawi MP, over meeting London’s vaccination targets, vaccine safety, and guaranteeing London’s fair share of vaccines.
• Honouring Diana, Princess of Wales, with an English Heritage Blue Plaque after the Assembly ‘Back the Plaque’ campaign.
• Supporting an amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill calling for monitoring of serial and serious harm domestic abusers and stalkers, after the Assembly domestic abusers register campaign.
• Questioning the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Stephen House QPM, to assess the police’s response to the Sarah Everard memorial vigil.
• Finding that rape and sexual offences rose by a quarter in London over the last five years but, shockingly, successful prosecutions dropped from one in nine down to one in 16.
• Meeting with Londoners to hear their stories and experiences of cladding and other fire safety defects. Our analysis found that waking watches cost Londoners living in fire-risk buildings £16,000 an hour due to the current cladding crisis.
• Launching a plan on how the Mayor could clean up the air at our schools and in city streets after we found 14 schools across 6 London boroughs are at, or exceed, the legal limit of NO2 pollution.
