Roger Evans AM, London Assembly Member for Havering and Redbridge has today criticised the International Olympic Committee for refusing requests for a one-minute silence to commemorate the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches killed at the Munich Olympics 40 years ago.

Speaking after Mayor’s Question Time where the matter was raised with Boris Johnson, Roger Evans said:

Roger Evans, London Assembly Member for Havering and Redbridge will today ask the Mayor what is being done to crack down on unlicensed minicabs. Speaking at the Mayor's Question Time at City Hall, Mr Evans will ask what can be done to tackle touts outside major entertainment venues and what the Mayor has planned to raise awareness of the dangers associated with using illegal minicabs.

Roger Evans said:

London Assembly Member for Havering and Redbridge, Roger Evans has welcomed Boris Johnson’s announcement of £50m for regeneration in outer London town centres.

The move will allow councils to bid for funding to aid the regeneration of town centres, like Ilford & Romford.

The money can be used to aid the development of land, maximise transport infrastructure investment and improve town centres for the people who live and work there.

Commenting, Mr Evans AM said:

Roger Evans, Havering and Redbridge’s London Assembly member, has today called for the Central line to become driverless.

Speaking today, Mr Evans urged Boris Johnson to examine and press ahead with the idea.

“Driverless train technology is in operation all over the world. It is safe, efficient and reliable.

“Once the upgrade is completed, the Central line will be an automatic system, with drivers reduced to door openers.
