Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Greater London Authority and are not the council. About us

The GLA Oversight Committee met to discuss the value and purpose of GLA public communications and to hear an update on countering fraud within the GLA Group. Key discussions included the effectiveness and accountability of mayoral communications, the allocation of advertising space, and the strategies employed by Transport for London (TfL) to combat fraud. Decisions were made to note the reports and delegate authority for any outputs arising from the discussions.
