London Lib Dems' campaign for better rail stations

What's your view?

Is it right for the mayor to increase single bus fares by 20%?

  • Time to get moving on Oxford Street congestion

    Pedestrians on Oxford street are reduced to shuffling along overcrowded pavements, while hundreds of buses an hour inch forward at an average of 4mph, according to a new report from the London Assembly Transport Committee.

    The report, ‘Streets ahead: Relieving congestion on Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street’, notes that despite its phenomenal popularity with shoppers, the area continues to be divided by a "slow-moving procession of buses and taxis". On average the area suffers an accident involving a bus every 3.4 days - and air quality in the area, already the worst in London, is on track to be the worst in the UK by 2015

    At the heart of the problem is the conflict between the need to provide a pleasant shopping and leisure environment, and meeting the demand for transport links through the West End. And various schemes to reduce traffic congestion and improve the pedestrian experience in one of the world’s premier shopping destinations may not be enough, says the report, calling for more radical thinking.

  • London Lib Dems respond to Mayor's draft Transport Strategy

    Caroline Pidgeon AM, on behalf of the London Assembly Liberal Democrat group, and London Lib Dem Transport spokesperson Tom Brake MP, has submitted a formal response to the Mayor's draft Transport Strategy.

    While welcoming some of the Mayor's proposals, the Lib Dems see several areas where the strategy is in need of improvement:

    The document contains welcome and useful proposals, some of which need strengthening. Regrettably, important issues that need to be addressed are neglected or omitted.

    There are contradictions in the document – measures to promote walking and cycling sit uncomfortably with plans to smooth traffic flow and an absence of plans for pedestrian precincts. The document lacks interim measures of success for the Mayor’s projects: this will make it very difficult for Londoners to hold him to account. To secure new infrastructure investment takes many years of hard work and campaigning. If valuable projects are excluded on the grounds that funding is not currently available, they will never be delivered.

  • London Assembly criticises government cuts to Freedom Pass plans

    The London Assembly has called on the Mayor to persuade the Government to meet its original commitment to contribute funds to London boroughs to help them meet the costs of extending off-peak free bus travel to people who do not live in London.

    A motion agreed today deplored the government's decision to halve this contribution, and urged the Mayor to put pressure on the government to that they should abandon their U-turn and honour the agreement they originally made.
