The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has announced a £600,000 investment to revitalise local high streets in the capital.

Twelve London boroughs will receive £50,000 from the Mayor’s High Street Place Labs (HSPL) programme over the next year to help them attract investment and improve public spaces.

‘My High Street Place Labs programme plays an important role in driving progress on the London Growth Plan, which will deliver economic growth in every corner of our city to raise living standards, put more money in people's pockets and enable us to invest in our public services,’ said the mayor.

‘I look forward to working with boroughs to deliver these important improvements for communities across the capital as we continue to build a fairer and more prosperous London for all.’
