What happened
Tory mayoral hopeful James Cleverly stated he would review costs imposed by the Greater London Authority (GLA) to reduce the cost of living for Londoners. He vowed to end what he calls “back door” taxes, including levies on motorists, homeowners, and costs related to new-build properties. Cleverly also stated that Kemi Badenoch is passionate about London’s success.

The campaign promises target specific financial burdens in London, such as the Congestion Charge, TfL fare rises, and the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) fee. These levies and regulations directly impact the financial costs of living and doing business in London.
