In your Housing Strategy you outline that you "would like to see new arrangements for prudential borrowing for new housing so that it is not counted as Government debt, which would distinguish it from more mainstream public borrowing, along the lines that apply in much of the rest of Europe". What progress have you made in lobbying the government to implement this change?

What action have you, and will you take to ensure that all freedom pass holders can access overground rail services 24 hours a day?

It is a campaign that Assembly Member Kit Malthouse in his role when he was head of Mayor's Office for Police and Crime (MOPAC) endorsed and commended. It has been taken onboard by other people and the only organisation that did not commit to it locally in Lambeth was TfL. These campaigns were...

I am looking at the foundations of a legacy. How is it possible to truly call this a legacy when, at this moment in time, of the 5,381 employed people on the site, only 20% are from the five hosting boroughs and 48% are non-British? This...
