Did you know London Mayor Boris Johnson is handing out £50,000 just for Olympics related bunting?
According to the Mayor’s office, each London borough would receive the cash to pay for flags, banners and bunting, just so they could have a “uniform look for the streets of the capital” for the Olympics next year.
We must be rolling in money for London’s Mayor to think handing out £50,000 just for bunting is a great idea.
But one council had the good sense to question whether this was the right decision.
Richmond Council said it would be giving “careful consideration” to what would be appropriate for the borough, claiming £50,000 was “a considerable sum in these frugal times”.
