We want a socialist London Assembly with the power to tax the rich to pay for the decent services Londoners are crying out for. We would launch a campaign, involving trades unions and communities to force the government to provide the resources London needs. The Socialist Alliance stands for a fully integrated public transport system - with proper funding for bus, tube and train. London is one big traffic jam, with pollution poisoning young and old alike. Millions are forced to use their cars because public transport is an under-funded, expensive nightmare.
Heavy freight dominates our roads.
Things will only get worse not better if the tube is privatised. The provision of cheap and efficient public transport, along with policies to limit the number of vehicles on our city's roads, would significantly reduce congestion and pollution. Stop privatising the tube. Buses and trains to be brought back into public ownership and control. For a fully funded and integrated public transport system to move people and freight around London that meets the needs of people and the environment.
