Boris promised to work closely with the boroughs - not just the inner London ones - and announced that he will develop a charter for working with the boroughs in the next week or so.
If he is serious, as I hope he is, I look forward to:
- a shake up of Transport for London, who are a law to themselves. We should see more spending on things we want to do here in Sutton rather than just carrying out the Mayor's plans;
- The London Development Agency buying a map and learning where Sutton is - and investing some of our £millions locally;
- new planning policies being drawn up to stop inappropriate back garden development - see my previous post.
I'll believe it when I see it, but I have to say that I can't remember Ken ever doing anything like it.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Sutton Conservatives tackled Boris directly about back garden development when he came to Sutton back in September 2007. This was before he was adopted as our candidate and so we continued to work with Boris to help develop his manifesto in this regard and in other areas.
The LibDem motion to Council was amended by us to seek our MPs' support and was supported unanimously.
