Mike Tuffrey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group leader, commenting on the passing of Boris Johnson's first budget said:
"The Mayor is right to be freezing his council tax bill this year. But in the year ahead he needs to give Londoners a clearer sense of how he plans to invest in vital public services, achieve value for money and leave London a safer, more healthy and prosperous city at the end of his term of office.
Commenting on the Mayor's response to the Liberal Democrat budget amendment Mike Tuffrey said:
"I welcome the Mayor's statement today that he is interested in a number of the proposals we put forward, such as the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street. I especially welcome his interest in taking additional measures to tackle London's appalling air quality which each year leads to the premature death of over 1,000 Londoners.
"The real test is whether the Mayor now delivers on his promises and in particular reverses his decision to scrap the third phase of the Low Emission Zone."
