• DESPITE lockdowns, nearly 100 people died on our roads last year, and over half of these terrible and unnecessary losses were people walking or riding bikes.

As the first Green Party Mayor of London, my target would be to eliminate road danger.

Other cities have driven road deaths down to zero: recently both Oslo and Helsinki have recorded no walking or cycling deaths at all in a year. London needs the same zero road deaths target.

No firefighter runs into a burning building with a target of rescuing half the people from the blaze. They want to save every single life.

And one of the first things I’ll do is get speeds down. A 20mph speed limit on all roads with a pavement will be an important first step towards saving every life we can.

With Caroline Russell on the London Assembly I have pushed for a default 20mph speed limit, but Labour members sadly blocked it. It’s time for a new start in City Hall.
