With the London elections less than a month away, as part of its Under The Flyover series of podcasts, Inside Croydon interviews Zack Polanski, a London Assembly Member since 2021 and the deputy leader of the Green Party.

During the exclusive interview, Polanski talks about ULEZ, which he calls “the dog that didn’t bite”.

Then there’s the real electoral chances of Tory Susan Hall and why no one really has to “lend” anyone their vote.

Polanski talks about public transport and extensions to the Croydon tram network.

And he explains what can be achieved by London AMs while scrutinising the work of the Mayor.
