Call for roofs to become gardens
Londoners should make more use of roof gardens and terraces, according to the mayor Ken Livingstone.

He wants to see more rooftops used to grow plants, create more useful spaces and improve the city environment.

The Mayor of London and his chief advisor on Architecture and Urbanism, Richard Rogers, have signed a manifesto calling for the resource to be used.

Living Roofs - Promoting green roofs, roof terraces and gardens - is being launched in east London on Tuesday.
