In memory of Dave Wetzel

This is a very sad time for the Labour Land Campaign, less than a month ago, on 26th July 2024, we lost our founder, Dave Wetzel.

Dave was Head of Transport at the Greater London Council, later Vice Chair of Transport for London, again under Ken Livingstone. Beloved husband to Heather, father and grandfather. RIP Dave.

Lasting Memorial – continuing Dave’s work on Land Value Tax

You may have heard Dave mention, once or twice, why we need to shift to an annual Land Value Tax to replace bad taxes and in order to have economic, social and environmental justice. Forty years ago, he set up the Labour Land Campaign and we will be continuing with his life’s passion.

We will be making some of the stories Dave told in his talks around the world on public transport and Economics, into videos to publish on-line.
