He might as well say “Let them eat cake”. Of course some people will be able to afford to replace their cars, but - as we escape this pandemic - many will not. Sadiq Antoinette could not be more out of touch if he tried. standard.co.uk/news/london/n…
If your car doesn’t meet Ulez standards get a new one, says Sadiq Khan

If your car doesn’t meet Ulez standards get a new one, says Sadiq Khan

Sadiq Khan today told Londoners whose cars will breach the Ulez rules to consider trading them in for a newer model if they want to avoid the £12.50-a-day levy.

A visually impaired woman from #London says e-scooters are not safe enough to be used across the city as they do not have audible signals. ⁦@RNIB_campaigns⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo…

E-scooters 'not safe' without audible signals

Signals that alert pedestrians to e-scooters will not be installed for at least two months in London.

Good to see local councillors support the cause None of the #tooting ward councilors attend our protest despite the majority of people not wanting the #ltns

Earlier I joined hundreds of residents & local businesses in #Oxford who are passionately campaigning against plans for more Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in East Oxford. I had a quick chat with @ReconnectingOx about why I was there & why I don’t agree #LTNs are the way forward 👇

Instead of the councils spending 1000's on plant pots and parklets , they could have invested in bike parking! That would have helped me use my bike more than closing roads that make no difference personally.

The London Assembly will hold a confirmation hearing on Tuesday, to assess Sadiq Khan’s reappointment of Heidi Alexander to Deputy Chair of TfL and whether she is qualified for the position. Can I just remind you of something to save us all time? 👇@Tony_Devenish @LondonAssembly
