Solar panels generating complaints, zero Croydon youth murders, ULEZ consultation results, and cargo bikes.

  • Summary

  • Series 2, Episode 7. Neil Garratt and Nick Rogers review the latest news from London and City Hall, in this episode:

    - Mayor Sadiq Khan's Solar Together plan for home solar panels. Aiming to generate electricity, it's also generated huge numbers of complaints, even the Mayor publicly admitted it had gone wrong. Neil's Audit Panel has investigated and found serious problems with the process.

    - A year of zero youth murders in Croydon. A great news story and a big turnaround from 2021, what's beind it?

    - The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) consultation results are in, what did Londoners really think? And did the Mayor pay attention?

    - Cargo bikes. A modern version of the classic "butcher's bike" with electric assist that can carry a surprisingly large load, increasingly common in central London as businesses find they make commercial sense. What is the potential and what are the obstacles to growth?

    PS: in the episode Neil says it'll take between 27 and 28 minutes to cycle from City Hall to London Bridge. Actual elapsed time: 27 mins 36 seconds from bike shed to ticket barrier. Bosh!
