The Leader podcast: Sadiq Khan on congestion, TfL and cannabis

London could be about to face a different health crisis - congestion.

The city’s Mayor has issued a warning that the capital could soon be overrun by filthy air and gridlock because of a shift towards driving as transport during the pandemic.

However, with the ongoing TfL funding crisis and fare increases on the horizon, Sadiq Khan has a big job on his hands if he wants to convince people to ditch their cars.

Also, with positive signs of covid cases in the city easing, can we expect a return to the office soon?

Our City Hall Editor, Ross Lydall, has been speaking to Mr Khan about what this could all mean for Londoners, if the end is near for working from home and whether we can expect any changes when it comes to the law on cannabis.
