Posted by Kelley Vendeland on May 14, 2008 at 12:12 PM
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.
