London's councils waiting for riot money one year on

Help

A year ago, London was in the midst of some of the worst rioting and looting ever seen in the capital.

In the aftermath, Mayor Boris Johnson promised more than £70m of funding to help regenerate the worst affected areas.

Twelve months on, local councils say they are still waiting for the money to appear.
