Zac Goldsmith has stepped up upped his election campaign, bringing in a green fleet emblazoned with the Conservative logo.

The Tory prospective parliamentary candidate for Richmond Park launched his election campaign this week with the help of four electric tricycles.

Each vehicle contains the message “I back Zac”.

Mr Goldsmith said: “We’ll be covering a lot of ground over the next few weeks, and rather than adding to the pollution and traffic, we’ve assembled a green fleet.

"They cost 2p per mile, they can take passengers, carry leaflets and they are surprisingly fast. Everyone enjoys riding them.”
