She will make nightlife safety a priority

On improving culture and creative industries in London, Ms Hall says one of the biggest barriers to enjoying nightlife is safety.

She says she will recruit more police officers and crack down on crime.

She will also put in place a strategy for a 24-hour London, so more venues are open late at night.

She will crack down on waste in City Hall

"We need to make sure we crack down on the waste in City Hall so that we are not burdening Londoners with more and more council tax increases," Ms Hall said.
