From society.guardian.co.uk

London's mayor, Ken Livingstone, today said he was withholding £1.5m of funding from a council because its transport policies were putting children's lives at risk.

Barnet council has ripped out road humps in defiance of his transport safety measures, which have the force of law, withdrawn cycle lanes and increased the danger to pedestrians by introducing parking on pavements, Mr Livingstone said.

He vowed that the north London council would not receive any money until his transport agency, Transport for London (TfL), had investigated.

The council's Conservative leader, Brian Coleman, branded the claims as "absolute bollocks", insisting that the council's measures had widespread public support.

He accused Mr Livingstone of indulging in "political grandstanding" and "emotive nonsense for which he had no evidence at all" ahead of this June's mayoral election.

Humps in London caused £7,500 worth of damage to Metropolitan Police vehicles in a three-month period, the report revealed.

Some local residents’ complained of incessant noise from vehicles going over humps while emergency services were concerned about slow response times to incidents because of the humps, the report said........
