The Green Group Budget Amendment 2024-25 contained a financed plan to: “provide funding so small businesses, community groups, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and social enterprises can bring […] economic and social activity back to disused buildings,” in each London borough and the City of London.

The webpage for your High Streets for All mission says: “The mission will deliver enhanced public spaces and exciting new uses for underused high street buildings in every Borough by 2025, working with London's diverse communities.” Could you tell me how the future of the mission will be impacted by rolling it into the themes of Economy and Global city and culture in your new draft budget, with particular reference to the proposed timeline on the webpage?
