Independent Candidate
for Mayor of London
Policy Ideas
As Mayor of London, I will work tirelessly and selflessly for all Londoners. I want to hear from all communities about the issues impacting them. This is why I am engaging directly with communities and businesses across all sectors to work together to secure London's bright future.
Making London
Safe For All
Safety is paramount for our communities.
Londoners do not feel safe anywhere, anytime, anymore. Women feel unsafe. London has failed its youth with gang warfare spreading. Criminal exploitation of children is increasing.
Has the current Mayor of London forgotten he is responsible for the totality of policing?
Too many Londoners are
impacted by crime. This must
stop.
- I will create dedicated units to tackle crime.
- Increased and urgent focus on violence and crime against women.
- Ensure visible on the beat community policing.
- Re-open police stations where crime rates are high
- Measure each police officer's performance strictly against crime reduction and prevention goals
One life lost is one too many
Getting London Moving
This is hampering London’s economic growth,having been ranked as the most congested city in the world
The Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is a disaster whilst Tubes, buses, roads are all clogged. The Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are not helping.
Is the current Mayor of London not aware his policies have brought London and Londoners to a standstill?
Costs have increased for Londoners and businesses with these policies and low-incomehouseholds are impacted. A total revamp is essential.
- I will scrap ULEZ.
- LTNs will be abolished.
- Congestion Charge will be removed over weekends and holidays.
- Additional resources will be provided to minimise noise pollution.
I will ensure the transport system is efficient, effective, fair and equitable for all.
Levelling up for Londoners
Around 25% of Londoners and over 33% of Children live in poverty,
This is shocking and totally unacceptable Children, women, people living with disabilities and long-term conditions, people from minority ethnic groups, lone parents and people who are socially excluded, such as rough sleepers and many others with low income levels are struggling to cope.
Has the current Mayor of London forgotten his moral responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of all Londoners?
This is a top priority London is broken.
- I will deliver genuinely affordable homes.
- The voice of Londoners will be encouraged in new housing plans
- Standards of temporary accommodations will be improved by working closely with boroughs.
- Will fight for making childcare more affordable for claimants.
- I will use my independent voice to lobby hard against the Government’s two-child benefit cap and for increasing child benefit.
- I will ensure free school meals.
- Will unlock employment opportunities by encouraging further investment in London.
- Will increase funding for benefit, debt and welfare legal advice services and make them more effective.
- I will work with the business community to create more flexible employment opportunities.
I will bring back the smile for all Londoners.
Strengthening
London’s Communities
Communities are feeling isolated in London, there is a growing sense of social dislocation, inequalities created by poor policies have exacerbated the problem.
London feels like a lonely place to live for many, lack of adequate community facilities, work, skills and employment opportunities affecting many, lower engagement with families unsure of housing, volunteering by fewer people, not enough government or council funding, youth are leaving their communities.
Has the current Mayor of London not realised many of his policies have left communities struggling and made them insular?
Creating cohesiveness and bringing communities together is critical
- I will strengthen relationships between neighbours and neighbourhoods through a community cohesion strategy.
- Will celebrate the diversity of London’s communities by championing the voices of young people through the creation of borough led youth councils.
- Volunteers and volunteering will bea key plank strategy through a Mayor of London Volunteering fund.
- I will use my independent voice to lobby hard against the Government’s two-child benefit cap and for increasing child benefit.
- Sports and culture will be fostered like never before.
- Sustainability and environment will be areas of focus.
- Will create a Mayoral Statement of Community Involvement Happy communities mean thriving communities all working with the same goal for their own London.
I will work tirelessly and selflessly across communities and boroughs.
Championing London
The leadership and ambition to spearhead and develop sustainable prosperity and redefine London’s pitch to the world has been lacking.
London needs a Champion to continually showcase its unique strengths and sectors. The business ecosystem needs to be world leading and world beating. More Fortune 500 companies need to make London their Global Headquarters.
The current Mayor of London forgot he should have Championed London from the front?
London is a great city with so
much offer to everyone. It is competing with other cities on many fronts. Needs to be showcased.
- I will Champion London globally and be a credible partner for business and strengthen its international competitiveness across all sectors.
- Take strong borough-level action to handle inequality, develop skills and encourage investment.
- Urgent steps to reduce emissions and increase focus on sustainability.
- Ensure my levelling up agenda gives London a boost and makes it an investment destination of choice.

- Entrepreneurial spirit will be invigorated and revived, Startups, Scaleups and SMEs will be fostered, will make London a leader in ethical and responsible technology, USA is currently funding around 60% of Venture rounds.
- Ensure UK only funds have the resources, training and expertise to grow the investment ecosystem.
- Tourism needs a refocus.
- Commit to electric vehicles and steady investment in TfL.
- Ensure a sensible approach and support towards net zero.
- Remove all barriers to ensure London is the most digitally connected city.

As London's champion I will not be afraid to make bold moves to secure our place as the best city in the world.
