On the 21th of January, I had the privilege to join Major Candidate Zac Goldsmith’s team “BacZac2016” and I have to say Zac is a hard working, dynamic and down to earth individual who has a lot to offer as a Conservative Candidate for Major of London. Furthermore, he has a very dynamic team to support him at this elections.
Here is the information about his campaign.
Back Zac’s Action Plan for Greater London
Over the next four years, if elected as Mayor, Zac Goldsmith will work with the Government to:
Start fixing London’s housing crisis by:
Doubling home building to 50,000 a year by 2020 and ensuring development is in keeping with the local area
Giving Londoners the first chance to buy new homes built in London
Ensuring a significant proportion of all new homes are only for rent and not for sale
Improve the capacity and reliability of London’s transport system by:
Ensuring the Night Tube goes ahead, starting Crossrail 2, and growing the rail network
Bringing suburban rail services under the Mayor’s control to increase and improve the service
Protecting the Freedom Pass
Improve London’s living environment by:
Protecting the green belt from development
Tackling air pollution with tougher rules on HGVs, and encouraging greener vehicles and safer cycling
Creating more green spaces and cleaning up local parks so they are safe to visit and enjoy
Make London’s streets safer by:
Protecting neighbourhood police teams and keeping them on the street
Tackling the root causes of crime in local communities
Putting more police on public transport at night
All paid for without increasing Mayoral council tax.
Local Council plans to abolish 15 mins free parking in the Waltham Forest were also critised by the conservative party supporters.
Furthermore Conservatives candidate for London Mayor, Zac Goldsmith, said earlier this year it was a “real backward step” to abolish the scheme.
He said: “Charging local residents for parking when they visit their local shops sends the wrong message and discourages people from supporting local businesses which are such a vital part of our community.”
