Dear Fellow Londoner,
This will be the last email that you receive in your inbox from the City Hall Conservatives until after the General Election, because of strict publicity rules in the pre-election period.
So we thought we would share a few highlights from Mayor’s Question Time a few days ago. This is a meeting which gives us the opportunity to bring local issues to Sadiq Khan’s attention, and to spell out how we would change our city for the better.
We asked questions on everything from the Green Belt, to stop and search, to London Underground extensions, to Taylor Swift - scroll down to take a look!
Protecting the Green Belt
With Keir Starmer suggesting that he will weaken protections on the Green Belt, new Assembly Member Alex Georgiou asked Sadiq Khan whether he will do everything in his power to protect London’s Green Belt from the potential changes.
Stop and Search
Sadiq Khan previously promised to do everything he could to drive down stop and search - and he was successful, with stop and search falling by 44%.
However, knife crime has risen by 49%.
Watch Susan Hall press Sadiq Khan to increase stop and search.
DLR Extension to Belvedere
The City Hall Conservatives are in favour of extending the DLR to Belvedere, which would allow it to link in with the existing rail network. Watch new Assembly Member for Bexley & Bromley Thomas Turrell ask Sadiq Khan to meet with him to discuss this vital proposed transport upgrade.
Is Sadiq Khan a “Swiftie”?
Finally, we are excited that Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will be brought to London next month. Whether or not you are a “Swiftie”, the tour will be a great boost to London’s economy. But is Sadiq Khan really a Taylor Swift fan as he claims? Watch below - and make up your own mind…
