RIGHT OF REPLY
The leader of Westminster City Council, Simon Milton, responds to an article by Ken Livingstone, in which he argued in favour of strengthening London as a tourist centre.
Ken Livingstone claims that Londontasks appeal to tourists is that it is a "lived-in city" ("Londontasks a great international brand that has to be marketed carefully", 15 August). I agree with him. But if we want the reality to match the rhetoric, we need to act now to save the city.
The Mayortasks endorsement (поддержка) of the "24-hour city" sits uneasily with his desire for a living city. To have a truly living city, you need residents: local communities, such as the 6,000 people who live in Soho and Covent Garden in the West End.
They live alongside about 350 bars and clubs that stay open, up to 5 a.m. already. The capacity (вместимость) of such bars is 50,000 people, bringing with them noise, nuisance and crime. As a result, the very residents who make up the "lived-in city" are being driven out.
We need to have sustainable tourism. If we dontaskt act, wetaskll rip the heart out of London and drive away business and tourists.
At Westminster, wetaskve introduced policies to restrict new licences. We want people to have a good night out, but the community needs a good nighttasks sleep, and a genuine mix of uses must be sustained. If the Mayor wants to deliver a living city, he has to ensure that those who live in the centre of the city have a quality of life that most of us take for granted (принять как должное).
