Sadiq Khan has set out plans for a £6million campaign to help support live music, culture and hospitality in London this summer, among other sectors beleaguered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Announced just after being sworn in for a second term in office as Mayor of London, Khan s proposals aim to safeguard and create jobs in industries decimated by COVID-19. The so-called Let s Do It initiative also promises the best summer London s ever seen , with a huge range of events comprising one huge push for domestic tourism. The last 15 months have been incredibly tough, Khan told Time Out Magazine in an exclusive interview yesterday. I also recognise not just the intrinsic enjoyment we get from retail, culture, and hospitality, but that one in five jobs in London are in those areas.
