The people of Greater London have placed their votes in the 2016 mayoral elections, and now await the results.
Whoever has won will gain command of a budget worth £17 billion to be spent mainly on fire services, transport and policing. They will also take on responsibilities for culture and the environment, addressing health inequalities, urban regeneration and development. The new mayor also has a duty to issue strategy documents covering each of these fields, as well as performing the function of London’s police commissioner.
