Mean suggestion from some Londoners? The last thing you need (6)

I believe the answer is:

intend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mean' is the definition.
(to intend to something is to mean it)

'suggestion from some londoners? the last thing you need' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'last' could be 'end' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'end' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intend that I've seen before include "Mean - purpose" , "Contemplate - mean - plan" , "Tinned (anag.)" , "Have as one's plan" , "Plan, propose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
