London's Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, has launched a £300,000 Summer Streets Fund aimed at supporting al fresco dining across the capital. This initiative allows councils to apply for funding to create new outdoor dining areas, which will help businesses expand their premises and operating hours. The fund aims to alleviate financial burdens by streamlining processes and potentially waiving fees. Industry leaders have voiced their support, highlighting the importance of outdoor dining as the city prepares for increased tourist activity during the summer months.
"This new 300,000 Summer Streets Fund will help to kickstart al fresco dining and extend opening hours this summer, allowing the industry to thrive."
"London is the greatest city in the world and as summer approaches and our city is set to welcome millions of tourists, I'm keen to put al fresco dining and later opening hours back on the menu."
