Or if not, why should that impression exist? Is this simply a case of being too long in one job, no matter what your achievements? Show less »

Arena Fields and White Hart Fields are both part of Hackney Marsh and have been taken for the Olympic Park. 2. The River Lea at Hackney Marsh is still tidal - an ecological treasure. The Olympics will it seems result in the tide being stopped lower down so this wonderful asset will be lost. Show less »

I think you're probably the most suitable politician in the entire UK to help organize such a mass event, possibly because you're one of the few who's still actually interested in the masses.

Show more »Please tell me, as a Londoner, how you justify suddenly changing the goalposts, where the Congestion Charge is concerned? When you initiated the Congestion Charge it was, supposedly, to help combat congestion in London. Now you are going to make different vehicles pay different prices, some paying nothing at all, according to their CO2 emissions. If you are going ahead with this plan, please explain your reasons and why you did not tell the truth to Londoners in the first place? Show less »

And as we get more evidence of the role of aviation in contributing towards catastrophic climate change it's obvious that Expanding Heathrow would wreck our attempts to cut carbon emissions. That is why I am also against Boris Johnson’s plans for a new airport in the Thames Gateway – which he described as his “big idea” for London. Show less »

Show more »Londoners should decide whether or not to charge high emission cars for the pollution they inflict on the rest of us, not a luxury car manufacturer flexing their muscles in the courts. I am proposing a £25 a day charge on the most polluting cars, like some 4x4s and high-powered sports cars, because we have to do something to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. Londoners will have a clear choice on 1 May – vote for me and we will introduce the new CO2 charge, or back Boris Johnson and he will scrap it. Porsche have a clear vested interest in attempting to block the CO2 charge, because almost all of their vehicles are in the highest polluting class. Porsche should focus their attentions on cutting CO2 emissions from the cars they produce, and leave it to Londoners to decide how to tackle pollution in their city. While the purpose of the CO2 Charge is not to raise revenue, we anticipate it will also raise around £30-50 million in revenue each year, which will be reinvested in transport improvements across the capital, including massive improvements to cycling and pedestrian facilities in London.

The final choice for who becomes Mayor of London seems to be between yourself and Boris Johnson. How much do you think it will be decided on policies and how much on personalities?

Show more »Being Mayor of London is too serious a job for the election to be decided on the basis of personality alone. This election is about taking the big decisions that affect every Londoner, from the £1billion a year tube upgrades to the £16 billion Crossrail project. I will carry on transforming bus services, provide an extra 1,000 police officers on the beat and keep the neighbourhood police teams, fund £79 million for young people to have safe places to go outside school, and safeguard the policy that 50% of all new housing is affordable. And I will make tackling climate change and the environment a priority. I have a track record of managing London - improving bus services, putting police back on the beat. Dealing with the highs and lows of London such as winning the Olympics and the terrorist attack on 7 July. In contrast, Boris Johnson’s incompetent plans on buses have descended into chaos with his admission that a new Routemaster bus would cost over £100m, rather than the £8m he originally claimed. Imagine Boris Johnson in charge of London’s £39bn transport budget. Suddenly he’s not so funny. Show less »
You said that you were amazed by the popularity of cycling when in France for the Tour de France, and stated that we would use the French 'free bikes' scheme around London. When will this happen?

Show more »Over the last 8 years we have achieved an 80% increase in cycling in London, raising investment in cycling every year. My election manifesto sets out how we will introduce a central London bike hire scheme with 6,000 bikes available every 300 metres, as part of a much wider investment of over £500 million in cycling facilities across London. Due to the need to agree all of this with the central London boroughs, the earliest date for the introduction of the scheme is summer 2010. Show less »
