London TravelWatch chairman Brian Cooke has been told he no longer has a job after the London Assembly Transport Committee ruled that had breached the terms and conditions of his appointment (link below.)
http://www.transportbriefing.co.uk/story.php?id=4995The decision followed a statement from Cooke during the run up to the London mayoral election in which he expressed support for Boris Johnson and claimed that Ken Livingstone's approach to transport policy was "arrogant".
The assembly, which funds London TravelWatch, agreed by a majority vote at an Extraordinary Meeting on Monday (2 June) to terminate his appointment with immediate effect. Brian Cooke's four-year term of office was due to end on 30 September this year and the recruitment process for a new chairman and board members is already underway.
