    Fantastic effort by the Mayor and his team!

    We have now reached a deal with the Govt to keep our transport network running. Here’s what it means for Londoners: ✅ Free travel for under-18s & over-60s is protected ✅ Congestion Charge Zone will not be extended ✅ TfL fares won’t increase by more than what’s already agreed

    I see my suggestion below is still very relevant. A circuit breaker during half term (suggested by Kier Starmer and Sadiq Khan) was the perfect time to reduce transmission and get on top of Test&Trace. As it stands we still risk community transmissions increasing after Christmas.

    As difficult as this will be, a circuit break is needed to slow the virus; instead of the protracted range of measures which doesn’t seem to be having any impact. This will also allow time for the Test and Trace system to be fixed!!

    A dire situation for all local authorities across the country.

    Councils all over the country are being forced to plan for massive cuts to jobs and crucial services next year because the Conservative government has broken their promise to fund ‘whatever it takes’ to fight coronavirus.

    Thank you for the various actions but while these are been implemented; and the council will work with you to quicken these steps - your visibility is important to reassure the community.

    3/3 Please report any firework related incidents online or 101. Please make sure to give exact locations and give descriptions of the youths in as much detail as possible. If fireworks are being fired at people please call 999.
