Motion detail
Thomas Turrell AM moved, and Elly Baker AM seconded the following motion:
“This Assembly notes that on 13th February 2025, London Assembly Members voted by 16 votes to 3 in support of a motion calling on “the Mayor of London to launch an independent investigation into the implementation of the temporary speed limits on the A20 at the Sidcup by-pass, which were in place between October 2023 and October 2024.”
This Assembly further notes that following an exclusive in The Telegraph on 1st November new information has very recently come to light which implies that the original traffic order to enable the temporary speed reduction was invalid.
This Assembly believes that there have been clear issues with the process and believe that TfL cannot reasonably mark its own homework.
In the light of this new information, this Assembly reiterates its previous call for an independent investigation, recognises that such an investigation is necessary to restore confidence in Transport for London and agrees that the independent investigation should start immediately.”
Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the motion was agreed with 18 votes being cast in favour, and 0 votes cast against.
