Greens making a difference

The two Green Members on the London Assembly, Jenny Jones and Darren Johnson, have already made a huge difference. With a pivotal role in the Assembly's budget-setting, these are some of their successes:

  • Tripling to £60m the money available for cyclists and walkers
  • Setting up the London Living Wage Unit to tackle poverty pay
  • Starting the new Green Homes Service that supports Londoners who want to make their homes greener
  • Securing the East London Green Grid, which creates new green space and protects flood plains in east London

With more elected Greens we can make more of a difference.

Vote Green on May 1st. Change London for good
