Keith Prince AM calls on London Mayor to ensure Londoners can get to and from work next week after planned strikes.

Keith Prince, Assembly Member for Havering and Redbridge and Transport spokesman for City Hall Conservatives is calling on Sadiq Khan to use new minimum service laws to ensure Londoners can get to and from work during next week’s Tube strikes.

Transport for London (TfL) has warned commuters of severe disruption on the London Underground network from the evening of Sunday 7 January through to the morning of Friday 12 January because of industrial action. 

Mr Prince told the Havering Daily: “Sadiq Khan needs to decide if he is the Mayor for Londoners or the Mayor for trade unions. The Strikes (Minimum Service Level) Act gives Sadiq Khan the power to intervene in next week’s strikes to ensure minimum service levels on the Underground network. 

“In 2016, Sadiq Khan promised zero strikes on the Underground network. Next week’s industrial action will be the 140th strike under his watch – four times as many as the previous mayor. Sadiq Khan is both Mayor and Chairman of TfL. Londoners will know who to blame when the Tube network grinds to a halt once again next.”
