    Millie from Colliers Wood says since the murder of Sarah Everard, she feels no safer in the capital.

    She wants to know if Sadiq Khan will consider setting up a phoneline women can ring when they feel unsafe on streets.

    "It's the only thing I feel would make much of a difference," she explains.

  3. Khan says he wants to listen to Londoners about ULEZpublished at 11:25 British Summer Time 31 May 2023

    On whether he anticipated the pushback against ULEZ, he says "it wasn't an easy decision".

    "I'm not a denier I want to be a doer."

    He adds he wants to address any concerns which are valid.

    "When we first spoke in 2017 it was £25m and it's expanded to £45m, so I'm always willing to listen to Londoners," the mayor says.

    The first question the mayor is asked is about ULEZ.

    Ray says his 2012 car emits a low level of emissions, but it won't be ULEZ compliant when the zone is expanded, costing them £300 a month.

    He asks what the mayor is planning to do about the ULEZ expansion and the scrappage scheme.
