London Mayor Ken Livingstone has been assuring Londoners that the cost of the Olympics will stay at the 38p per week that he promised it would. In his free newspaper The Londoner he says ‘Last year, we set the Olympics council tax precept at 38p. It will remain at 38p next year, the year after that and the year after that. When people see that it has not risen past 38p, they will accept my firm guarantee that Londoners will not be asked to pay any more to fund the 2012 Games.’
The council tax may stay the same but they’ll easily find other things to squeeze some cash out of. I wonder if there’s any money in his plan for a MonoMetro system in London like the one in this clever video below. It would certainly free up some road space.
