Brian Paddick launches London mayoral campaign
January 14, 2008 12:00 AM
At his campaign launch on Monday Liberal Democrat Mayoral Candidate Brian Paddick pledged to put cutting crime in London at the heart of his bid to win the mayoral race.
Brian was accompanied by Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg MP as well as Southwark councillor and Vauxhall parliamentary candidate Caroline Pidgeon, as he outlined his key priorities for London:
-cutting crime by 20% during his first term;
-increasing the reliability of tubes and buses;
-changing Oystercard to enable unlimited travel within 1 hour, and;
-using money spent on temporary accommodation to build new permanent social housing.
Commenting, Cllr Pidgeon who is a list candidate for the GLA elections in May, said:
"Brian has a track record of tackling crime in London and will make this his priority for both Lambeth and Southwark. As we walked around Brixton market after the campaign launch it was clear just how unpopular Ken Livingstone has become and how much London needs a serious Mayor to tackle crime, affordable housing and our transport system. Brian Paddick's vision and experience makes him the only credible candidate to become Mayor of London on 1st May".
