There is a danger that that pride can lead to complacency. The elections in May 2010 were a reminder that we should constantly review the mechanisms that are in place to enable the citizen's right to vote. The 2010 elections will be remembered for the crowds outside the polling stations. In Hackney and Islington, those crowds were waiting patiently to vote but hundreds were unable to exercise that fundamental right when the polls closed. In other parts of London, those crowds were last minute canvassers, trying to cajole voters into supporting, or not supporting, particular candidates .

  • (Re)Thinking 'Gangs'
    Runnymede Perspectives (Re)thinking ‘Gangs’ Claire Alexander About Runnymede The Runnymede Trust is an independent policy research organization focusing on equality and justice through the promotion of a successful multi-ethnic society. Founded as a Charitable Educational Trust, Runnymede has a long track record in policy research, working in close collaboration with eminent thinkers and policymakers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. We believe that the way ahead lies in building effective partnerships, and we are continually developing these with the voluntary sector, the government, local authorities and companies in the UK and Europe. We stimulate debate and suggest forward-looking strategies in areas of public policy such as education, the criminal justice system, employment and citizenship. Since 1968, the date of Runnymede’s foundation, we have worked to establish and maintain a posi- tive image of what it means to live affirmatively within a society that is both multi-ethnic and cultur- ally diverse. Runnymede continues to speak with a thoughtful and independent public voice on these issues today.

  • SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL and ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan Storms Into City Hall
    SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL AND ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan storms into City Hall Robert Gordon Clark Executive Chairman Sadiq Khan has been elected as Mayor of London with a comprehensive 57%-43% victory over Conservative Zac Goldsmith after second preference votes. He also returned the biggest ever first preference vote (1,148,716) for a mayoral candidate against the highest ever mayoral election turnout (45.6%). For Khan, the uber-campaigner who managed Labour’s success in London local elections in 2014 and in the capital’s 73 seats at the General Election last year, this is the pinnacle of his electoral achievements to date and confirmation should anyone need it that London is now a solidly left leaning city and one at ease with electing a first Muslim Mayor. Meanwhile the race for third was as tight as predicted with the Green Party’s Sian Berry repeating the party’s third place of 2012 with 6% of first preference votes, narrowly ahead of the Lib Dems’ Caroline Pidgeon on 5%. UKIP’s Peter Whittle was fifth with 4% followed by Sophie Walker of the Women’s Equality Party on 2%. Khan’s energy and enthusiasm for the mayoralty was evident right from the start of Labour’s selection contest where he overcame frontrunner Tessa Jowell. Hustings victory then morphed seamlessly into a mayoral campaign where he was much quicker than Goldsmith in activating party supporters and hitting the streets and airwaves with his vision for London. He also zoomed in on parts of the capital and communities where predecessor Ken Livingstone struggled in 2008 and 2012.

  • Len Duvall, AM
    Appendix 10 Len Duvall, AM City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA Switchboard: 020 7983 4000 Minicom: 020 7983 4458 Mr Mike Brown Web: www.london.gov.uk Transport Commissioner Date: 24th November 2015 Transport for London By email Dear Mike The Garden Bridge is clearly a project of significant public interest with many passionately held views on both sides. Whatever ones view on the project, the fact that to date £60m of public money has been pledged either as grant or loans, and millions more in operating costs underwritten, means it is imperative that any concerns are addressed fully and transparently. This is particularly the case when these concerns relate to the integrity of the procurement and commissioning process. As Chair of the GLA’s Oversight Committee I am acutely aware of the controversies surrounding the Garden Bridge, and the shortcomings of process my Committee has already identified. Whilst on this occasion I do not write on behalf of the Committee as a whole I believe there is cross-party support for greater transparency from the GLA’s functional bodies, particularly around capital projects like the Garden Bridge. I note with concern the apparent admission that neither the GLA nor TfL hold records of key meetings throughout the Garden Bridge procurement process. In particular the fact that FoIs by the Architects Journal have revealed no records are held of a key meeting in early 2013 on the subject of the Garden Bridge/Temple to South Bank footbridge involving Mayor Boris Johnson, TfL’s commissioner and TfL’s managing director of planning.
