Councils in south London have called for an end to a 45-year-old levy designed to fund a park on the other side of the capital.
Sutton, Merton, Croydon and Wandsworth LBCs have been contributing to the upkeep of the Lee Valley Regional Park in north London since 1966, when the park was first established.According to the south London boroughs, they now contribute £1.2m a year, with Sutton LBC alone providing £200,000.
