Mike Tuffrey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly budget spokesperson, commenting on the Mayor's final budget proposals for the year 2012 - 2013 which now show a modest cut of 1 per cent in the GLA's share of Council Tax bills said:
"Just a week ago the Mayor of London was resisting the Liberal Democrat's alternative budget which proposed a tax cut three times larger, at over 3%. Our proposals would save the average Londoner £10 a year, not the small amount this Mayor is now suggesting."
"This looks like a pre-election gimmick from Boris Johnson, and not a serious attempt to share with Londoners the fruits of the central government grant and savings from reduced waste. He could and should do more."
