Extremely excited that Cycleway 4 from Tower Bridge to Greenwich has officially been launched by @Heidi_LDN @willnorman & @TfL The positive benefits for cyclists and pedestrian will be huge especially as it links in with our Liveable Neighbourhood. ❤️🚲

New data released reveals that ULEZ is working: driving down emissions and bringing cleaner air to millions more Londoners. Great news for our city! 🌍🚗💨 @SadiqKhan #CleanAir #London

The ULEZ expansion is already working. Our new report shows it is improving London's air quality, and emissions are even lower than we expected. This means cleaner air for all Londoners.

If you're able to chip in to support my campaign, it'll help me to achieve my vision for Lewisham - to change our Borough and make Lewisham a place that we can all be even more proud to call home.

Great to join residents and talk to @BBCRadioLondon this morning about Citizens House. This pioneering partnership between @LewishamCouncil and local residents has delivered fantastic, affordable homes for the community at prices set, permanently, by what local people earn.

I’m appalled UKIP has allegedly put forward an anti- #LGBT candidate in our wonderfully diverse #LewishamEast   I‘ve zero tolerance for all discrimination & call on my @UKLabour candidates @JanetDaby , @SakinaZS @ClaudiaWebbe to commit to fighting bigotry in all its forms ✊🏽
