Another hit and run in Tower Hamlets. Our borough has the highest rate of hit and runs in London and the current Mayor is dead set on making it worse with his pro traffic policies.

I've written a piece about what's gone wrong for our children - we know they are unhappy - look around the streets you live on and you might get a clue why...

“The most prosperous streets with the fewest empty shops are the ones with the most street trees and with the tightest carriageway. Cars can be present but they are guests. Humans are the dominant species, not cars.” theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

We couldn't agree more with James O'Brien.

Today I want to reiterate this important message:

London is a city that celebrates our diversity and values the rich contributions that people from all backgrounds make.

It makes us the greatest city in the world, and it makes me proud to be your Mayor.

The borough with the most hit and run casualties?

Tower Hamlets.

It is not acceptable that increasingly, people do not have the decency to stop after a crash to check whether the other person is ok.

Londoners should be better protected from this kind of casual violence.
