The Evening Standard has a report on the £13,500 spent by the Greater London Authority to furnish a "business lounge" inside City Hall.
Caroline Pidgeon told the Standard:
This expenditure clearly reveals some very poor policies being adopted at City Hall under Boris Johnson.
Given that every Londoner is being asked to tighten their belt, how can the GLA even dream of spending taxpayers' money on bar stools costing £220 each or chairs at almost £900?
I question whether ridiculously expensive furniture and a ghastly new carpet are necessary to encourage people to work flexibly. This is simply a waste of public money.
