AnnotationThis outlines the objectives and powers of the Mayor and the Greater London Assembly as set out in the Greater London Act 1999. In doing so, it is intended to act as a contribution towards greater understanding by older people of this newly-created body, (known as the Greater London Authority - GLA), and to highlight the issues that should concern the GLA about London's older population. The GLA is a strategic body of twenty-five elected members and the Mayor who is also elected. Their powers to initiate action and develop policy cover: transport, Greater London development, environment, police, fire and emergency; and culture, media and sport. The GLA cannot spend on housing, education services, social or health services. The GLA, albeit with lesser powers, replaces the former Greater London Council (GLC) which was abolished in 1986.
