Utilities, roadworks and the Mayor in a Fiat 500...

Just been at a presser with Boris Johnson and shadow transport minister Theresa Villiers.

They want to introduce lane rental schemes where the utility companies have to rent the lane while they carry out roadworks.

Boris Johnson in a Fiat 500

The companies say they'll just pass on the cost. The Tories dispute that and say roadworks are actually costing the economy millions.

And I have a world photo exclusive. The Mayor Boris Johnson not on his bike but departing in a Fiat 500. Quite spacey for a small car.

Got the mayor, three advisers and a parliamentary candidate in it.
