This report, coinciding with the COP27 summit, accuses Sadiq Khan of putting out regular press releases announcing new projects while failing to sign up to tangible metrics to measure success. It notes that he has set an ambitious target of net-zero by 2030 without clear deliverables and no real plan for achieving it.
The report finds that Sadiq Khan has fallen behind Andy Burnham, Andy Street and Ben Houchen on his environment commitments. Amongst other recommendations, it calls for him to scrap his ineffective ULEZ expansion and reinvest the £250m in a scrappage scheme and other measures to tackle air pollution instead.

Outer London transport provision is not fit for purpose. For too long, current transportation failings and future needs are not properly considered when areas are developed. This report calls first for a plan for South West London and then for a joined-up, yet decentralised stategy for all of outer London. London does not start and stop at the border, transport should be designed to reflect that reality.
