THE Conservative candidate for the London mayoral election next year has slammed the expansion of Ulez as a “disaster” for the city.
Susan Hall told GB News: “The [Ulez] expansion zone is a disaster because he [Sadiq Khan] didn’t listen to what anybody wanted. He never listens to what anybody wants. He does exactly what he thinks he’ll do.
“But I’ve said all along, I will stop it on day one, which I will, but people are also very, very concerned about policing in London. We’ve seen some tragic instances just in the last couple of days really and he has got to get a grip, but if not, I will absolutely get a grip.
“And those that know me know that policing is my absolute passion. I’m very concerned about things that go on in London and we need to put it right.”
In a discussion with Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner, she continued: “I’ve been born and bred in London. I love London genuinely and I have seen it deteriorate under Sadiq Khan over the last seven years and somebody’s got to get in there and make a difference with common sense policies, and somebody’s got to go in there and say what they think.
“…so many Jewish people do not feel safe. That’s wrong, and I will never apologise for defending the Jewish community. I’ve got so many friends that are literally talking of leaving the country because they don’t feel safe. That is unacceptable.”
On Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, she added: “20 miles per hour zones in places like the Finchley Road is utter nonsense. It’s a main road into London so three or four lanes, I mean ludicrous.
“Around schools and around hospitals and little side roads I completely get, not on main artery roads.”
