BackBoris on Campus
London students are Backing Boris in droves - BackBoris on Campus teams have signed up over 1,300 new supporters at Freshers Fairs across the capital.
Kings College London are leading the way nearly 550 new members, followed closely by Westminster, who accumulated 420. With Queen Mary and Kingston both passing the 100 mark, and the newly created University of Greenwich, University of East London and BPP teams enjoying successful fairs, the message about Boris's strong record on cutting crime, investing in transport and creating opportunities for young Londoners is reaching a wide, new audience.

BackBoris September pub quiz
Over 100 Londoners teamed up to take one another on in last night's BackBoris pub quiz!
With the Mayor joining in as our guest quizmaster for a special round of trivia and facts about our capital, it was a Tuesday night well spent. In his inimitable way, Boris quizzed attendees on topics ranging from the Underground and London football league teams to when Londoners first 'spent a penny' to use public conveniences.

Freshers Fair - KCL & Westminster
The newly created King's College London BackBoris society signed up over 400 new Boris Backers over two days at the KCL Fresher’s Fair!
Dressed in the latest Back Boris t-shirts, an enthusiastic group of King’s students distributed leaflets and the incredibly popular BackBoris2012 oyster card holders to freshers, current students and members of staff. The student body at King’s were incredibly receptive to Boris as the KCL BackBoris society stole a march on Labour with Ken supporters nowhere to be seen.

Mayor cracks down on disruptive roadworks
Boris Johnson has launched a new front in his battle against disruptive roadworks - a dedicated website for reporting problem sites.
Making the announcement at Transport for London's (TfL) traffic nerve centre, Boris Johnson urged Londoners to name and shame the companies whose sites are unattended, cluttered or causing unnecessary delays. Londoners can use the new reporting system to tell TfL which sites need attention so they can take action with the relevant organisations to keep the capital moving.
The Mayor and TfL are setting out a new roadworks pledge outlining what standards Londoners should expect from roadworks sites and calling on borough highway authorities to do the same hold those who dig up roads on their streets fully to account.

TalkLondon - Sutton
Writing today on the City Hall blog, Mayor Boris Johnson invites Londoners to TalkLondon in Sutton tomorrow night to share their views on rebuilding community spirit, crime and the Met Police:
Just over a week ago, I was delighted to announce the appointment of Bernard Hogan-Howe as the new Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
Bernard has a fantastic track record in cracking down on crime, and I was particularly impressed by his promise to build a Met that criminals fear and the police are proud of.
He has also promised to make the Met more open and transparent, and to restore the public’s faith in the institution after a challenging summer.

Freshers Fair - UEL
Over 50 new supporters and volunteers joined the campaign at the University of East London's Freshers Fair last week.
A group of us went along to spread the word about BackBoris2012, recruit new volunteers and hand out the ever-popular campaign Oyster card holders. We talked to loads of enthusiastic new students, giving them information on upcoming events and how to start a supporters group on their campus.
We're all looking forward to Freshers Fairs across the capital in the days and weeks to come - hope to see you there!
