- [Brian] Sadiq Khan lied to us.
He promised us better air quality in our neighbourhoods.
He promised us less traffic.
He promised to give our streets back to the people.
He promised to improve our environment.
Instead, his low-traffic neighbourhood scheme
is ruining our city.
Sadiq Khan lied to us.
- The so-called low traffic neighbourhoods,
which involved bollards and planters blocking off roads
have led to protests and petitions.
With 200 of them now underway across London,
some say they are causing more congestion.
- [Brian] Sadiq Khan lied to us.
His low-traffic neighbourhoods prevent people
from visiting their families and caring
for their loved ones.
He stops people from attending work
and keeping important medical appointments.
He is bankrupting businesses and ruining local economies
because of the lack of footfall.
He prohibits our emergency services from saving lives
and prevents disabled people from access to their homes.
- Absolutely fuming. - Everyone's done, sir.
- The main mayor, right, and the government
funded that scheme.
They paid the money to Ealing Council
to implement it. - Yes, they did.
- There is many that feel the same as me.
We had an ambulance whilst this scheme was up
and a man had a heart attack inside.
It was all over the news, okay?
And they couldn't reach him in time
because the ambulance didn't have the key in time.
This isn't a local council thing.
(beeping)
It's government and it's Mayoral Hall.
That's where it sits.
Those fundings comes out to these places
to put these schemes in place.
And we don't bloody want it. - Absolutely correct.
You're absolutely correct.
You are correct.
LTNs actually cause more traffic problems,
increasing emissions by up to 300%
as the mayor generates millions of pounds of income
from fines given to residents in Ealing, Lambeth, Hackney,
Islington, Enfield, and more.
Sadiq Khan lied to us.
The current mayor is using his low-traffic
neighbourhood scheme to extract money
from hardworking citizens to save
his bankrupt transportation system.
- You are passing the buck as you always do
to central government.
Do you personally though accept any responsibility
or is it all everybody else's fault?
- [Brian] His LTN fines punish lower-income families,
charging an outrageous 130 pounds per offence
during this challenging recession.
- I'm almost trying to hold my temper.
That's how I feel. So angry.
So absolutely okay with what's going on in this country.
There's local businesses inside that LTN
that cannot operate.
They're shutting down.
There's a car mechanics.
There's no getting passing trade.
Pharmacy which service the local area that I could walk to.
Shutting.
Okay, so what they do is they stick these barriers in.
If anybody makes a mistake, it's 200 quid.
- [Brian] And with journey times increasing by 77%,
it is obvious that LTNs are failing the communities
they are supposed to serve.
The High Court recently ruled that Sadiq Khan took advantage
of the pandemic to push through these radical changes
with no consultation with the residents.
Sadiq Khan lied to us.
Londoners deserve better.
We deserve a mayor who cares about our residents,
business owners, disabled, and emergency services.
We deserve a mayor who doesn't tax our citizens
to repay debts from his own financial failures.
We deserve a mayor who doesn't break the law
but instead consults with local residents
and stakeholders about important policy changes.
To do this, we need real leadership.
We need someone who can run our transportation system
like a business.
We need someone who is financially responsible
and who can hold people accountable.
My name is Brian Rose and I plan
to put transportation first.
As your next mayor, I will make London
a world-class city once again.
