Today I joined @oldoakparkroyal to launch their search for a partner to help deliver 8k new social, affordable and private homes and 11k jobs.
With all the land at Old Oak now in single public ownership this is an incredible opportunity in what will be the best connected place.

Our city is facing a housing crisis and delivering the homes that Londoners need is a priority for @MayorofLondon. Both developments will make a valuable contribution to housing delivery in Barnet and London.

The funding will see the GLA work with @thameswater, boroughs and utilities in scaling up green infrastructure solutions and reducing flood risk, for example through the introduction of rain gardens like the one below👇

There are positive signs that under new leadership the Building Safety Regulator is being turned around.
I saw an example of this when I visited London Square’s Stratford Cross site with the BSR’s Operations Director, which received swift approval at Gateway 2 and is underway.

Earlier this week I spoke at @MoversShakersUK Real Estate forum on the next phase of UK regeneration. King's Cross, the Olympic Park/East Bank and Battersea/Nine Elms showcase London’s world class expertise in transformative regeneration of urban places.

Good to visit @LondonFire's zero emission pumping appliance earlier this week, which is the first of its kind in the UK.
Having now attended over 600 incidents, it's a clear example of the efforts being made across public services in London towards achieving net zero.

Thanks to @ElecSafetyFirst for highlighting fire risks from unsafe batteries in e‑bikes and e‑scooters, which have caused tragic fatal fires in London.
That's why we’re pushing for stronger regulation, including of online marketplaces, to keep Londoners safe and prevent harm.
Today's successful #APPG for Electrical Safety launch brought together a strong mix of voices and sparked valuable discussion on critical issues regarding lithium-ion battery safety, setting a clear and positive direction for the Group’s work ahead.
