Newly-elected London mayor Boris Johnson is halting publication of the The Londoner, the monthly promotional newspaper published by the Mayor's office.
Johnson described the decision as a move to cut "unnecessary funding," and has pledged to put the savings, up to £1 million per year, towards planting trees in London's underprivileged areas, according to Press Gazette.
The paper is currently distributed to three million homes across Greater London.
