People of London reflect on 2024

We get Londoners to reflect on 2024

Transcript

00:00Yeah, it was quite chaotic. It's like a lot going on. So I think a nice calm, chill 2025, I think would be a good one.

00:08Um, 24...

00:12It was okay. I think the election was kind of interesting. I think there's a lot of doom and gloom talked about.

00:20And people don't talk enough about what could be good. People talk down London a lot. I can't like living in London.

00:26I mean, it has lots of challenges now with,

00:29you hear about all the shoplifting and street crime,

00:31but I'm sure that other people experience it

00:34differently to what I do, but I think it's still fine.

00:37Something I would improve about London in 2025,

00:44I guess it's like a national thing,

00:45but like better funding and provision for like healthcare

00:47and like funding the NHS and stuff like that.

00:50People are very selfish because some of the people

00:52around here, I was on my bike and I wanted to do a count

00:57and where there was an LTN, where you can't drive through,

01:00the people whose cars were coming from the LTN

01:02had no problem going down other people's side roads

01:06instead of keeping to the main road.

01:08So they either make them all LTNs or they don't have any

01:13because the people who do have them seem to be able

01:15to take advantage of other people not having it.

01:19I do some voluntary work with one of the local hospitals

01:23and I'd really like to see them improve

01:26how they deliver some of those services.

01:28And I don't think it's money.

01:29I think it's training and morale.

01:33You know, it might be money because it's staff,

01:35but a lot of it is process

01:37and they could just make things easier for people.

01:41There's a lot of admin rubbish

01:43and the staff are pretty hardworking

01:47and they're under a lot of stress.

01:50So for me, I think next year,

01:51I just wish everybody be more happy, no overthinking.

01:56Do not worry, worry about worries.
