In response to reports of a £15 million sum being provided for cycling in London in this year’s budget, Green Party Mayoral candidate Jenny Jones said:
"The Mayor said himself last month that it would need £150 million to make London a ‘truly cycle safe city’.
"Yet again he has failed to make the case for Londoners despite supposedly strong links to his pals at the Treasury.
"The next Mayor must focus on ending the needless deaths and injuries of cyclists on London’s roads, and if elected I would immediately rebuild the capital’s most dangerous junctions, as well as introducing 20mph speed limits on residential streets."
