Plans to spend £15.6m on new public toilets, pedestrian crossings, ‘a drug consumption room’, and other projects have been voted down by the London Assembly, after an overwhelming majority of members argued the ideas were not workable.
The proposals were tabled on Thursday as an amendment to Sir Sadiq Khan’s budget by the Assembly’s three-strong group of Green Party members, who said their spending package “would make meaningful differences in the lives of so many Londoners”.
