	City Mayors: London local government
		The Commission on London Governance, a joint body established by the London Assembly and the Association of London Government, was formed in 2004 with the remit to examine the workings of all aspects of government in the capital and recommend an outline for reform.
		However, understandably, London local government is opposed to such a move and the London Assembly had to bring the Association of London Government (which represents the 32 London Boroughs) on board when it established the commission.
		At the moment, the London Boroughs are responsible for the maintenance of council housing in the capital, though the Mayor is seeking a stronger strategic role in the field of social housing provision, a role currently undertaken by the government’s Housing Corporation and the Government Office for London.
