The 25-strong body is elected at the same time as the Mayor and holds him and City Hall’s agencies – including Transport for London and the Met – to account through public question and answer sessions and detailed investigations.
During the past year its met on 102 occasions , held 73 investigations, produced 27 reports and issued 16 letters and consultation responses to the Mayor and Government.
The annual report sets out key highlights of the Assembly’s work for the year and also describes its investigations into areas that are priorities for Londoners, including housing and the environment.
Darren Johnson AM, who was chair of the Assembly during the 2013/14 year, said: “The Annual Report is a great opportunity to tell Londoners what work we have been doing on your behalf over the last year.
“From our regular question and answer sessions with Boris and other senior figures in London government, to investigating a raft of important London issues, to dealing with thousands of Londoners’ concerns, Assembly Members have been your voice at City Hall.
“The Mayor has to answer to Londoners at the ballot box every four years. The job of the London Assembly is to ensure that the Mayor is held accountable every day.”
