Boris Johnson's View of London

As the warm sheepskin gloves very slowly start to come off, ahead of the upcoming London Mayoral Elections, so some policies start being revealed.

Boris Johnson said in his housing manifesto it was “hugely embarrassing” that UNESCO considered the Tower of London and the Palace of Westminster as potential candidates for the endangered list of World Heritage sites.

He wrote: “London’s skyline is precious". Tall buildings must be part of London’s development, but not at the expense of existing landmarks. Tourists flock to London because of its landmarks, and 91% of people want views protected around St Paul’s and the Palace of Westminster.”

He went on to say, "Affordable housing must be more than 'decent'; it must be desirable."

The opposition have blasted Mr Johnson for repeating their proposals.

So it continues...
