Yeah.
-
All right.
-
I am here on the battle bus.
-
We are passing the world famous London.
-
I headed by Parliament, which is coming up here, and we're on our way to Wandsworth.
-
And then we're coming to Sutton To Martin, to Richmond and then Kingston.
-
So we're coming to see everyone today virtually, and I'll be streaming from the back of the bus.
-
So make sure that you tune in for our live broadcast and again submit your questions wherever we're coming to you from Instagram YouTube, periscope, you name it.
-
We're there.
-
Um, And tell me, what borough are you in?
-
What's the question?
-
You wanna ask me, What's the single biggest challenge you're facing?
-
You know, yesterday when we were out doing a food drop to a charity and healing, we learned that people are really frustrated by the L.
-
Tien's in this city, and those are the low traffic neighborhoods.
-
A lot of them were put in place without really proper consultation of the local councils or even the local areas.
-
And it seems that a lot of them are doing more harm than good, and they need to be really rethought and reconsidered.
-
And we need to really listen to the citizens and a lot of these streets because it's changed their game, and it's really it's really hurt things a lot.
-
Some of them find that they have been fined unnecessarily.
-
They can't see their families.
-
We've already had comments are vlogs that ambulance drivers are struggling to even get into some of these Elton's.
-
We've also seen an actual increase in emissions when a lot of these these schemes were designed to decrease emissions, and we've seen a lack of traffic kill some of these businesses.
-
So these were really issues we're gonna talk about.
-
We're gonna feature this today, and each one of these local councils is dealing with their own versions of these problems with low traffic network neighborhoods.
-
And they get all really says.
-
What happens is it starts up in the top floor of City Hall.
-
When you're mayor decrees that something's going toe happen, Um, they get a great press release, but they don't actually realize it's hurting a lot of people on the ground, and they never seem to stop by and talk to them.
-
You know, I felt like you know these people, they're not being listened Thio, and they're not being respected.
-
And these were their neighborhoods where they raise their Children and they have their livelihoods.
-
And this is something we have to talk about.
-
And again, we're bringing a new level of transparency by visiting everyone on the digital battle bus by live streaming and allowing your comments to come right up on live.
-
For me to speak out and answer your questions live, this is a new way of holding your leaders accountable.
-
And it's what we plan on doing on May 6, when we go to City Hall and become your next mayor of London.
-
So thank you so much.
-
You probably saw the bus going everywhere.
