Park Lane Cycle Lane: Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan ignores the clear wishes of local people

Park Lane

Earlier this week, Conservative Council Group Leader Rachael Robathan wrote to Nickie Aiken, MP for the Cities of London & Westminster, flagging up concerns that although the majority of people living in Westminster were opposed to Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan's Park Lane Cycle Lane, their views were ignored by the Mayor.

58% of Westminster residents who responded said that the scheme would do nothing to encourage people to cycle, in fact, quite the reverse. For walking, it was even more stark at 72%. So, almost three-quarters of total responses from Westminster people said that the Park Lane Cycle Lane would be pointless or discourage active travel.

Labour is being careless with your money and failing on crime

At Labour’s Westminster City Council budget last week, I made Westminster Labour answer for their reckless spending and weak action on rising crime and declining street standards. Westminster Labour has wasted £27 million on a failed housing contractor, self-awarded senior Labour councillors pay rises of up to 62 per cent and are projected to hike your Council Tax by 75 per cent over the next four years.
