Climate Change

Nicky has a long track record of promoting recycling, cutting pollution and working to improve London's environment. She has pushed climate change to the top of London's agenda, with action to cut carbon from London's homes, workplaces, energy supply and transport systems.  She has brought forty of the world's largest cities together, with London in a leading role to cut carbon, working with Bill Clinton's Climate Initiative.

Children and Young People

Nicky has ensured that every GLA planning policy considers the interests of children and young people, who make up one quarter of London's population.  She has driven a new policy to make large new housing developments in London provide proper play facilities for children - something close to her heart as a mother of four.

Transport

Nicky commissioned the initial research on which the Mayor's Congestion Charge policy is based and has promoted planning and transport policies which have got London moving and achieved the fastest shift out of car onto public transport of any world city.

Policing and Crime

As a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, Nicky has consistently supported action to cut crime and increase police numbers, especially through putting police back on the streets with Safer Neighbourhood Teams for every ward.  She has supported action to curb domestic violence and the new borough wide safer Transport teams. 

 
Housing and Planning

Nicky has fought for more affordable housing through her leading role in the London Plan and has pushed government to give the Mayor more powers to ensure a higher proportion of housing built if affordable and low carbon.
