Received a response to the question tabled to Boris Johnson
Question by Darren Johnson?
Will you support the Friends of Ruislip Lido in their campaign to prevent boating being introduced to the Lido, and to prevent part of the Lido green space being used for extra parking?
Answer by Boris Johnson , Mayor of London
I understand that Hillingdon Council is investigating the feasibility of a number of projects at Ruislip Lido with a total investment of £1.5 million, including the introduction of boating. The Lido, a 60-acre lake is set within Ruislip Woods nature reserve and is a fantastic recreational resource for the residents of Hillingdon and beyond. Making the lake more attractive to a wider range of users could bring a range of benefits, but it is important that the Council properly takes the views of the friends of the Lido into account.
The Mayor said nothing in the article, I expect he has not even been there. He will do NOTHING to oppose any decision made by a council dominated by Conservatives under Raymond Puddifoot. The Mayor HAS NOT entered any “fight” and will not. Anything said before an election must be treated with extreme suspicion. It is what happens after that counts.
