Ros Dunn, chief executive of the Thames Gateway London Partnership (TGLP), has raised concerns over London mayor Boris Johnson's failure to provide Lewisham, Hackney or Greenwich with regeneration funding in the aftermath of the London riots.

Ms Dunn, who has previously worked as a senior Treasury adviser on regional economic policy, blamed the mayor's failure to galvanise the capital's London Economic Partnership - announced in January – for harming the interests of areas of London equally deserving of immediate relief measures.
