A Greener London
Caroline has a plan to improve air quality and reduce congestion. She will
- clean up the air we breathe by phasing out dirty diesel vehicles
- switch London’s buses and taxis to fully electric and help to switch commercial vans too
- cut congestion by charging extra for non-essential workplace parking in central London and bringing in a new congestion zone around Heathrow
- set up a GLA Parks Agency to work with the Park organisations to enhance London’s ‘green lungs’ – protecting and improving green spaces such as Hampstead Heath and Crystal Palace
- protect school playing fields from being built over and lost to Londoners
- work with boroughs to set tough targets for reducing the amount of waste produced and for reuse and recycling
- roll out solar across 200,000 London rooftops by 2025
