Delivering on infrastructure pledges central to success of next Mayoralty

Responding to commitments from Sadiq Khan to take forward delivery of Crossrail 2 and extensions to the Bakerloo, DLR and Overground lines if re-elected as London Mayor, John Dickie, Chief Executive of BusinessLDN, said:

“London’s ageing infrastructure needs investment to keep the city moving and growing. This will require partnership between the Mayor, central government and business at a time when the public finances are under significant pressure.

“The innovative funding deal that laid the ground for the Elizabeth line demonstrates how such a partnership can deliver major projects for the benefit of households, workers and businesses.

“We welcome Sadiq Khan’s commitment to drive infrastructure investment forward in London and look forward to working with whoever wins the Mayoral election to ensure the capital remains fit for the future.”
