Bus speeds are falling, with speeds in Greenwich at a record low.
And Greenwich Labour continue their war on cars as their Mayor brings our bus network to its knees.
We need a focus on better services rather than an ideological crusade against cars.

Stuck in the slow lane: Average bus speed in London falls below 9mph
Bus operators blame roadworks, cycle lanes, 20mph speed limits and LTNs as passenger numbers continue to plummet

Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday!
One of my biggest passions is supporting small businesses as both a councillor and my day job.
But you shouldn’t just support small businesses today, you should support them all year round!

We know the spread of HMOs across the borough is a huge priority for residents.
But the plans being brought forward aren’t going to even begin to address the issue.
And when the Local Plan consultation goes live next week, make sure you tell Labour they’re weak, weak, weak.

We met with Thames Water this week to discuss the continued disruption on Footscray Road in Eltham.
We’ll keep lobbying for a long-term solution, but have secured commitments from TW to improve the situation.

After Labour broke multiple manifesto pledges today with their Budget, I’ve written to Clive Efford asking if he still plans on delivering on his promise to restore trust in politics.

Out this afternoon on the Avery Hill estate speaking to residents about the need for more parking.
Avery Hill has very poor public transport links & most residents need to drive to get around.
RBG needs to understand that different areas of the borough have different needs.

Great morning out speaking to residents in New Eltham. Plenty of concern raised about Sigma’s plans to build 205 homes at the STC.
I’ve been clear that this is an unacceptable development on Metropolitan Open Land and a loss of vital green space and I have formally objected to the scheme.

Disappointing that Labour’s disastrous LTN has been given the seal of approval.
🌳 Negligible impact on air quality
🚙 Huge increase in traffic on boundary roads
🗣️ Widespread opposition
If you live in the LTN or boundary roads, Labour do not care about your opinion.

I’ve been contacted by Lidl regarding plans to redevelop the Mecca Bingo site on Eltham Hill.
Plans include 21 flats, 7 townhouses, community space & new Lidl store.
FWIW I think this is a great use of the site and delivers much needed housing. Keen to hear others views too.

Labour’s own report shows their LTN has had a negligible impact on air quality.
This isn’t about air quality, it never has been. It’s about making money from hard working Greenwich residents.
And that’s why we’re calling on Labour to scrap it.
