Below is a copy of a letter which we sent to the Mayor’s office earlier today:

Boris Johnson

Mayor of London

City Hall

London SE1 2AA

Friday 9th May 2008

Dear Mr Johnson,

Firstly, please accept our congratulations on your election as Mayor of London.

It is clear from the scale of your victory that Londoners have a taste for change. It is in that spirit which I write to you now.

Shortly before 1st May, LondonSays released its Alternative Manifesto, which was written by a cross-party panel of experts. The articles inside include fresh thinking on the London Economy, Transport, Community Cohesion, Policing and Sustainability.

Whilst you were elected on a clear manifesto it is a matter of course that any leader must be in the business of constantly refreshing their ideas. We very much hope that you will take the ideas in the Alternative Manifesto under consideration.

You were kind enough to offer our organisation an endorsement during the election campaign, stating that “looked forward to receiving developments from [us] in the upcoming months.” With that in mind, I enclose a copy of the Alternative Manifesto.

We would appreciate your thoughts on the articles within, and hope that you embrace some of the ideas put forward by us during your stewardship of London.

With kind regards,

Simon Fell
