Today I'm cutting the cost of cycle parking in Lambeth so that a family of four is not penalised for choosing to cycle rather than drive. From next week, it will cost ยฃ30 to park a bike in a hangar. By 2026, there will be 5000 spaces available.

60% of households in Lambeth donโ€™t own a car. Yet in 2022, 239 people were killed or seriously injured on our streets in Lambeth. Car drivers usurp our public realm by taking up 94% of Lambeth's kerbside space. Car drivers have all the rights. Classic Tory disinformation.

Clean air is human right and we are taking action to protect residents and visitors in Lambeth and beyond. ย  We encourage every council, especially in London, to commit to diesel-free cities by 2030 and making the changes we need to get there.

Pleased we have been able to work with residents inside the Ferndale LTN who came up with alternative proposals to improve it. We listened to them & I am delighted to report that additional modal filters suggested by residents will be going in, subject to statutory consultation.

Joined the recycling crew in Lambeth this morning to try and experience first hand the types of challenges they face trying to do their job. Challenges such as this example of inconsiderate parking on a narrow bend making it hard for the truck to get round.

Yesterday a car driver lost control and crashed through a school fence, injuring 16 & killing an 8 year old girl. Absolutely heartbreaking news. I felt it as deeply as any parent would. The grief is overwhelming and now a second child is fighting for her life.
