    Been following Oxford Street for ..er.. a while. Some thoughts: What unlocked it was the unprecedented use of a development corporation that removes council powers. What you see today is just a start real work starts in Spring. Provision of cycling routes needed…..

    Stratford is one of Europe’s great regeneration success stories. It’s ready for its next chapter - European rail links. I’m proud to say I’m working with the government to deliver new cross-Channel trains from East London. The benefits would be felt far beyond our city.
