Petition
Capital Call is a valuable service that provides subsidised door-to-door transport for people with mobility problems. Last year, 270 people in Kingston made use of this scheme an average of nine times each.
However, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London proposes cutting this service from Kingston at the end of June.
We, the undersigned, believe that Capital Call is a vital service for many Kingston residents, support the council’s campaign to save the service, and call on the Mayor to withdraw his proposals.
