Recent reports suggest that the London mayoral race is closer than anticipated, revealing Susan Hall’s vision for London.
Hall’s plan, as outlined in the official London Elects booklet distributed to London constituencies, includes:
- Enhancing safety on London’s streets by recruiting additional police officers, preventing the closure of police stations, and reinstating borough-led policing.
– Reducing travel costs in London by halting the Ulez expansion on day one, supporting local councils in removing unwanted low-traffic neighborhoods (LTNs), and eliminating driving charges for every mile driven.
– Constructing more affordable family homes by prioritizing their development, halting the construction of unwanted tower blocks in suburbs, and focusing on building on brownfield sites rather than London’s remaining greenbelt areas.
