Policy
Good transport is not a technical question. It is about whether residents can trust that the decisions shaping their daily lives are made in their interests.
The relationship between Transport for London and the boroughs has become one-sided. When the Mayor closed a major road, the traffic did not disappear. It moved into Norland's residential streets. Marc is building a Norland traffic plan with residents to deal with the consequences, and he wants boroughs to have a proper say over route changes and road layouts that affect their residents.
He has opposed the proposed lane changes at the Holland Park roundabout and campaigned for the restoration of the 452 and 52 bus routes. He is also bringing residents' campaign on Central Line noise and vibration, backed by more than 200 signatures, before the council.
Infrastructure is also about planning for growth. London needs new homes, but large developments have to come with the GP capacity, school places and roads to support them. Otherwise existing residents pay the price for decisions they had no part in.
Marc's approach is simple: listen to the people who live with the result, show them the evidence, and keep them informed about how and why a problem is being solved.
