“I am delighted to have been selected. The Lib Dems on the GLA are doing an excellent job, and I am looking forward to campaigning on London wide issues, such as the crisis in transport facing the capital, and Labour’s terrible handling of the Tube.

Mr Hoban was congratulated on his selection by GLA member and fellow local councillor, Lynne Featherstone:

“I am certain Wayne will make an excellent spokesman for Enfield and Haringey in the run up to the GLA election in 2004.I am looking forward to working closely with him in the coming months.”
