Islington has a huge number of people travelling within and across it every day whether on the buses, underground and North London Line or by bike, car and on foot. I have been working to make the sure my constituents get better, safer and greener transport. Here some examples of the issues I have been working on:
-
I am a regular cyclist and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group and have been working to make sure more people use this healthy and green means of transport.
-
I met with Transport for London bosses to make the case for the East London line to go all the way to Highbury & Islington station so my constituents can use it. I am glad that Transport for London have now said that this will happen.
-
I have raised concerns about access to the redeveloped King's Cross station and helped secure up to £1 million from Network Rail for improvements to York Way
-
Transport for London has installed new CCTV at Caledonian and Holloway Road stations. I have visited both stations to inspect the new CCTV and support the improvements.
