Roger Evans AM: Should tourists become bored with Richmond eventually, of course, they can travel ‑‑ Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): Tired of Richmond? Roger Evans AM: No doubt at an advanced age by that time, they can travel east to sample the delights of outer east London. One of the great things about outer London for tourists, of course, is that it is less polluted and less noisy than inner London. It provides a bit of a haven for them.

I strongly support the use of Lower Thames Street/The Embankment for cycle traffic, with segregation and priority.
