Renting in Britain is broken. While the Labour government tears itself apart I have written to Steve Reed, alongside our two new Green Mayors @zoegarbett.bsky.social & @liamshrivastava.bsky.social , to ask him to listen to those who voted for change last week and to introduce rent controls now.

At People’s Question Time in Greenwich tonight, we were asked about rising homelessness and housing affordability. We all know that London’s housing system is broken. Homes are being treated as financial assets, not places where people live, eat, and raise their families. 1/2

So good that the Mayor’s Vision Zero Action Plan 2 is finally out – with strong recommendations on culture shift and reducing danger. What matters now is delivery. I’ll keep pushing at City Hall to make sure TfL gets on with urgency making London’s streets safer for everyone. 🧵[1/7]

Social media graphic with statement from Caroline Russell AM on Vision Zero Action Plan 2 with pale green background and a strip across the top showing a diverse group of people walking, wheeling, riding a bike and using a walking stick:

“Collisions, never ‘accidents’, happen daily. They happen when people make mistakes. Whoever slips up, whether it’s a tired child scooting home or a weary person at the wheel of a car or lorry, the price should not be death or life-changing injury. I’m glad to see the Mayor and his teams understand that to achieve Vision Zero we need to create city streets where no one is harmed when, inevitably, mistakes are made.

“Too often there has been a culture on our roads where speeding, distraction and risky driving are treated as acceptable, when in reality they can have devastating consequences. It’s encouraging to see VZAP2 clearly challenge that way of thinking and recognise that changing the culture around driving has to be part of the solution.

“I love the new ideas for ‘hospital zones’ and ‘evening streets’ building on the success of School Streets to reduce road risk and improve air quality. I’m pleased to see that side road zebras, reminding drivers to give way to people crossing, will also be piloted.

UK drug laws are currently built on hypocrisy & the price is paid in preventable deaths. Greens want to take control of a market that exploits people, is violent & devoid of care. I worked on our policy in 2019 with grieving families, doctors, an ex undercover- cop...& I'll continue to back it.
