In May, voters in London will elect their mayor.  The winner will lead on transport, skills, housing and planning, and policing within the capital, and will be elected for a three-year term after the delayed election last year. This briefing sets out three policy priorities the mayor should focus on over the next term.

Policy priority 1: Repairing London’s city centre and preparing it for future growth

• Campaign to encourage people back to the city centre once it is safe.
• Continue to support high-quality office space in the city centre.

Policy priority 2: Start the next London Plan

• Strategic review of green belt land
• Abolish minimum space standards
• Co-operate with the new planning reforms

Policy priority 3: Tackle congestion and air quality

• Expand road user charging in the capital
• Roll out Low Traffic Neighbourhoods if road charging is expanded
