On 11th April 2012, Boris Johnson, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London and the Greater London Assembly candidate for Romford and Redbridge, Cllr Roger Evans, visited Romford to speak with local residents about Boris Johnson's commitment to a greater London.
Boris's Greater London Plan
- Cutting waste at City Hall – freeing up £3.5 billion for services
- Putting £445 back in your pocket by freezing the Mayoral share of council tax
- Creating 200,000 new jobs over the next four years
- Making our streets and homes safer with 1,000 more police on the beat
- Restoring 300 acres of green space and planting 20,000 street trees
- Investing £221 million to transform local high streets, supporting small businesses
- Ensuring a true Olympic legacy – 11,000 new homes and 10,000 new jobs
- Reducing Tube delays 30% by 2015. Building Crossrail and orbital rail to link our suburbs. Extending the Bike Hire scheme.
- Securing a better deal for London from No 10
The plan sets a very clear framework and Boris will build on this in the coming weeks - showing the progress he has made so far and outlining in detail what this plan will do to help all Londoners and secure the city's future.
