Re-Elect Boris Johnson Mayor on 3rd May

£1 a day to keep Ken away
There are 100 days to go until Londoners head to the polls to vote for their Mayor.
We're in for a tough fight to stop London being taken backwards.
To compete with Ken Livingstone's union funded and controlled campaign, I need your help.

Help Boris deliver 4th council tax freeze
Londoners voted for Boris as their Mayor on the promise of providing value for money and keeping your taxes low.
And he has delivered. Boris has frozen his share of your council tax for 3 years in a row. This has helped many Londoners who suffered 8 years of rises under Ken Livingstone, costing the average household almost £1,000.
Mayor Johnson has now published his draft budget so you can see exactly where your money is going to be spent.
Again he wants to freeze your council tax - for the fourth year in a row.

HS2 boost for London
Today, the construction of a high speed rail line between London and Birmingham got the go-ahead, creating new opportunities and bringing fresh investment to areas of west London.
The HS2 project was approved after negotiations between Mayor Boris Johnson and the Government resulted in the decision to build a 2.75-mile tunnel to reduce disruptions for local residents. The tunnel will run from Hammersmith & Fulham to Hillingdon, minimizing disruptions for residents between Old Oak Common and Ruislip.

More jobs for Londoners
New figures today reveal there has been a rise in the number of Londoners employed in the last four years in a massive boost to London's economy.
According to research by the Financial Times, employment in the capital has grown by 2.9% since the first quarter of 2008. At the same time, economic output has also grown.
The growth parallels Boris’s record since May 2008 as Mayor – fighting for investment and creating jobs in the capital.

K&C benefits from Boris's hard work
When you’re working hard, watching your budget, and feel that sometimes keeping all the plates spinning is an impossible task, you have little patience for politicians who make gimmicky announcements - you want a Mayor who just get things done. Most importantly, you want a Mayor who focuses on the practical things which make your life better and your community safer.

Improvements in Barnet
I shall be backing Boris Johnson again in the 2012 Mayoral Election because, as a pensioner and a resident of the London Borough of Barnet since 1964, I have noticed the improvements in this area since he became Mayor of London.
By freezing council tax again, again and again he’s really helping those on a tight budget cope with rising bills and the ever increasing prices in the shops. Scrapping the wasteful Londoner newspaper to help keep tax down really is the kind of thing we want our Mayor to do.

Heading in the right direction
I’ve lived in Stroud Green in Haringey for ten years now and I love it here. Though one of the few downsides is the local council. For years has clobbered us with a hefty council tax bill, without much thought for value for money. And before Boris became mayor, the mayor’s share of council tax was going up and up.
So it has been a welcome relief that Boris has been able to put a stop to that - freezing his share for three years in a row.

WATCH: Bendy buses off London's roads
At just after midnight tonight, the bendy bus on route 207 from White City to Hayes by-pass will make it's final journey.
Introduced in June 2002 by Ken Livingstone, bendy buses were unsuitable for London's roads. Too often they were involved in dangerous accidents and it was too easy to avoid paying.

A pretty exciting place to live
Hackney’s a pretty exciting place to live right now.
From my house I can see the Olympic Stadium and the refurbished London Overground. And we need someone who can make sure we get the most out of these new opportunities.
The Olympics are a great opportunity for Hackney, and although lots of people think it’s costing an arm and a leg, it was costing an arm and two legs before Boris got hold of it!

Growing London's economy
I wanted to tell you about the new investment in London that we have secured from the Government. It is investment that will help grow London's economy.
Over the last three and a half years, my administration has been dedicated to putting more police on the streets and cutting crime; keeping council tax low; investing in transport and making the Olympics a success.
But perhaps our most important challenge of all has been to see London through these tough times and return to growth. It's why I am running again - to keep the investment flowing and London moving in the right direction.
