Boris Johnson axes Mayor’s newspaper The Londoner
London mayor Boris Johnson has axing The Londoner, the monthly newspaper published by the London Mayor's office. The newly-elected Conservative mayor described the move as the first attempt to cut ‘unnecessary funding’ of the Mayor’s Office's publicity budget. Johnson's office claims the Mayor's Office would have spent GBP 2.9m on the newspaper this year had Ken Livingstone been re-elected. The new administration pledged to use some of the money saved — around GBP 1m per year — to plant 10,000 trees in London's most deprived areas by 2012. Johnson announced the closure of the newspaper, distributed to three million homes across Greater London, at a tree-planting scheme in Brixton. (Press Gazette)
