The Mayor’s Budget for 2024-25

First priority would be to get rid of the present mayor, and then find somebody who is able to sort out the chaos he has left behind. Any finances will need to be applied to paying back the massive debts his incompetence caused. Give him a job driving a bus so he can pay back some of what he has misappropriated.

I think that maintaining a world-class transport network means learning from other parts of the world where major cities prioritise cycling and walking, and limit the size and number of cars in urban areas. Being able to travel sustainably, especially by cycle, including providing for disabled people,  will benefit the other priorities mentioned, especially public health: better mental and physical health will reduce crime and make people more employable. It will enable young Londoners to have more choices about work and leisure activities and give them the freedom to get away from trouble; reduce pollution and congestion to tackle air quality and the climate emergency; reduce car dominance on our streets, making them a more pleasant place to be and improving community cohesion; help with the cost of living by making transport cheap and widening access to jobs. Free skills training should include funding projects to train and qualify unemployed and low-paid in cycle repairs, so that they can obtain jobs in the growing cycle sector as well as maintaining their own bikes. Funding projects to recycle secondhand bikes will make them available at low cost to people on low incomes, enhancing their employability as they can take shift work at times when public transport is less available.

Stop the subletting of existing council properties. It is common. We've watched people take possession of Council/HA houses, stay for a day, then disappear and let to a varied series of tenants.

In the same way, stop the letting of rooms, for example via Airbnb. 

Nobody should be making a profit from the fact that they are allocated to social housing. 

Free up housing and bring down costs for those Londoners who really need it. 

Better air quality for a start - getting rid of the outdated Red Routes would help a lot, especially the ones (all?) that runs through residential areas.
More trees and green spaces, less luxury apartments that no-one can afford to rent. And when it comes to new buildings; no more ugly glass and cement ones. They didn't look good in the 60-70s and they still don't!
More open police stations (24 hours ones) and re-open the fire station that Boris sold off for no good reason.
Public toilets, where did they go? And why do I have to pay to use the toilets in Hyde Park now? Used to be free, now I have to pay 50 pence in most of them. 
Cheaper public transport to encourage people to stop driving everywhere AND re-open the ticket offices in the tube stations. It never made any sense to close them in the first place, considering that London is supposed to be this big tourist attraction. There's not enough staff in the station to deal with enquires when anyone needs help. "Call customer service" is not something most of us wants to be told when asking for help or "Use your credit card" to go through the gates. I do not want to use my credit card, I want a ticket or help with my Oyster card.

'World class transport network' should involve a recognition that cars are a necessity for many people - they need to do journeys that are not viable by public transport - and service traffic has to keep moving. There is now too much congestion caused by cycle lanes and badly phased traffic lights. It needs a better balance that keeps traffic moving.

All the above are important.  So is support for the arts.  

Being tough on crime and its causes is great, but don't forget that we have the right to protest peacefully.  There is so much aggression and ill-feeling around these days.  We need some unification so that we get on better with each other.  Uniting to achieve a common aim is always a good thing.  Leadership is very important.

Air quality needs urgent work world-wide . We cannot live healthily breathing in toxic air . 

Affordability is crucial . London certainly isn't for the global rich alone .

Helping people out of criminal lives is very important . Otherwise people won't stay long .

They're all important issues. Affordable housing is top of the list for me (not a personal problem for me now, but it has been in the past!) And funding for LFB is also high on the list--Bloody Boris' closure of ten of our fire stations ten years ago leaves us all vulnerable.

Good list of priorities. I would elevate mentoring for young people and skills training. This would have a positive effect on crime rates.

Disincentivising private motoring by reducing availability of parking and taxing businesses that provide parking would get more people on to public transport and bicycles and ease congestion and cut pollution. Crack down on pavement parking.

More cycle ways please, with good surfaces and regular sweeping and maintenance.

Moor trees is always good.

Priorities are spot on.

Please also address the issue of e-bikes and e-scooters. They are using vital resources that we will need to rely on in the future. So, they are far from "green" particulartly as they serve a very small demographic of younger people who could cycle or walk. Companies are profiteering from this greenwashing initiative. They pose a risk to the public, are accessed by quite young children and clutter our streets. BE  BRAVE AND SAY NO TO THEM.

The most pressing problem in London is, I think, the lack of social housing. So called affordable housing is not affordable for many many people in London who are forced into inadequate, often dangerous, over priced properties in the private sector. This situation impacts on their health and well being. The fact that they can be evicted for no reason causes stress and the increasing paucity of alternative accommodation causes stress - and, of course, if as a result they end up homeless, if they are in priority need, they end up in temporary accommodation provided at great cost to the local authority. If they are not in priority need, they may well end up on the streets. 

Overall, this situation causes untold misery and ill health to thousands of people and costs London millions, either through paying for temporary accommodation or through staff shortages for public services and businesses because people simply can't afford to live in London. The physical and mental health problems caused by housing stress also puts additional pressure on an already nearly overwhelmed NHS.

I am not, by the way, personally affected by this, as although I worked in an NGO earning a modest salary I was probably one of the last generation of young/middle aged people who was able to buy (in the 1980s) my own home - something that few young Londoners can even dream of, unless they have rich parents.

1. Remove the time restrictions for Freedom Pass holders
2. Reopen the toilets that have been closed on the underground
3. Remove the time restrictions on when waiting rooms on underground stations are open
4. Address the painfully high noise levels on the underground trains, i.e. squealing wheels
5. Address the very high temperatures on the underground, which is above the levels allowed for the transportation of livestock
6. Address the toxic air issues on the underground, i.e. extremely poor air quality and above safety levels
7. Address the delays on the underground caused by taking trains out of service for no apparent reasons
8. Ensure trains run to timetable; i.e. when it says the service is every 5-8 minutes, keep to it
9. Remove the ULEZ system in outer London, which is not required as the air quality is significantly better than the air quality on the underground
10. Be an honest Mayor

To help prioritise, my favourites are Met and Fire resources, the transport network and mentoring the young.  Specific suggestions:

1. Fund the Met to implement drone surveillance instead of sending up a noisy, expensive and polluting helicopter at the slightest opportunity, regardless of the impact on quality of life for many millions of residents.
2. Improve track maintenance on the tube to reduce the level of noise.  On the Victoria Line I have measured 105dB and similar on the Jubilee.  In Paris the metro is silent by comparison. 

Hi

I live in a good location in Richmond. The carpet in the house was installed at least 10 years ago.The building has no roof, so there is no thermal insulation.  Doors paper like. Water is always cut off. It's like I'm living in a cabin in the woods, not in Richmond. Since it is very difficult to find a house, my landlord does not do any renovations. There must be an institution that inspects homes.
Or the municipality must produce housing. The municipality's housing development projects are very expensive.

Please stop spending a fortune on LTNs which make absolutely no difference to the overall quality of air but make travelling a nightmare if you are older or disabled.  The blocked off side streets have a little benefit in air quality but the main roads are significantly worse and I pity the people you are forcing to have poorer air quality. The main beneficiaries of your dreadful traffic policies are fit youngish men who like cycling.  I am a 73 year old woman with poor immune system.  The last time I was on a bicycle, I was in my 50s and I fell off and badly injured my leg.   

I know that whoever reads this will put me down as an ignorant old woman and the fact that I ran the most successful campaigning television programme called 'That's Life!' regularly watched by 18 million people, will mean nothing because you won't have heard of it. I have voted all my life and believe in democracy but I am fed up with the feeling that the cycle lobby are the only ones being listened to.   

I was sorry to see that support for the disabled was not considered worthy of mention,  I don't expect to engage with Talk London again.

Those priorities seem balanced, sensible and practical (i.e. achievable) I think part of the Green priority should be to follow the example of Paris and penalise selfish idiots who drive into the centre of London is their cars when there is a good public transport system. They pollute the city and clog up the streets. 

EV charge points.

In outer London there is a severe shortage of slow EV charge points. There should be an effort to install a network of affordable lamp post chargers.

There should be more than one supplier in each location as currently there is no competition and some companies have high prices.

Source London chargers forceg. are nthe most expensive to use, they have monopoly in some areas and they exploit it to charge 60p per kWh.

Safer streets and secure neighbourhoods are missing from the list.  Sadly becoming almost routine to see violence/ intimidating behaviour on our streets, open drug dealing in some areas; and people afraid in their own neighbourhoods particularly after dark.  We have moved on from neighbourhood policing - we now need neighbourhood  street patrols which intervene, defuse tensions and contribute directly to preventing crime and disorder in our streets where we should live safely and securely.
