London Assembly rejects our 28 petition!

I've just heard that the Chair of the London Assembly - a Green party member, of all people - has refused to accept the petition sent in from over a hundred Wandsworth residents calling on the Mayor of London to halt his plans to axe the 28 bus route.

Remarkably, he did so because he didn't like the way the petition was phrased. We the people determine what our petitions say - not jobsworth politicians. The whole purpose of a petition is that it's asking the powers that be to do something they might not want to do! So the rejection of our petition isn't acceptable and cannot be allowed to stand.

The 28 bus service is an important local bus route. That's why I'm sending our 28 bus petition back to City Hall, this time direct to the Mayor of London himself.
