8 May, 2012
Our annual report sets out the work of the Assembly over the year to April 2012.
The report details how we've looked at the actions of the Mayor and his advisers, and the finances and performance of City Hall and London's transport, police, fire and regeneration agencies.
We have summarised our work under the following headings:
16 March, 2012 - 14:30
In November 2008 the Mayor produced his Time for Action proposals designed to tackle serious youth violence.
This report assesses progress made to date and the future prospects for the programmes that make up Time for Action: Project Daedalus; Project Brodie; Mayor’s Scholars; Project Titan and; Project Oracle

Our Transport Committee has written to the Mayor to welcome the good progress made overall on preparing the transport network to cope with the 2012 Games, and highlight a few areas that are still a concern.
The Committee wants the Mayor to set out details of what is being done to improve the performance of the Jubilee line – a key Games route - before the Olympics. The Jubilee is the only Underground line to see an increase in delays caused by infrastructure failures during the latest published performance period.

Air quality around Heathrow could be significantly improved by better public transport links to help reduce the number of people who travel to and from the airport by car.
Plane Speaking, by the Environment Committee, highlights the fact that passenger numbers at Heathrow could grow by a third to 95 million, and calls for steps to be taken to ensure the growth in passengers does not make air quality around the airport worse.
13 March, 2012
‘In from the cold’, by our Health and Public Services Committee, makes a series of recommendations that could help improve the situation for the nearly one in five London households who struggle to heat their homes and pay their energy bills.
Unless action is taken to tackle the problem, long-term energy price rises will continue to push more people into fuel poverty: the Greater London Authority’s (GLA) own projections show a worst case scenario that almost a quarter of households will be in fuel poverty by next year.
12 March, 2012 - 12:53
The report, from our Economy, Culture and Sport Committee, finds that schools and leisure services need to improve the way they help disabled Londoners stay active and highlights the low level of physical activity among disabled Londoners.
Since 2006 - despite the efforts of successive mayors and improvements to facilities - the number of disabled Londoners achieving the recommended level of physical activity has only risen to around one in ten.
1 March, 2012 - 09:51
This report sets out a number of actions that would make the present service charges regime that more than half a million leaseholders in the capital are subject to operate more equitably.
Highly charged, by Steve O’Connell AM on behalf of the Assembly’s Planning and Housing Committee, draws on a evidence from key stakeholders along with submissions from leaseholders themselves.
24 February, 2012 - 09:12
Our update report sets out the four key actions that are needed if the Mayor’s ambition to see passenger journeys on the Thames hit 12 million a year are to become a reality.
Since the Committee’s previous review of river services in 2006, there have been some developments in the expansion of river services and passenger numbers have grown, but the service is still not reaching its full potential.
23 February, 2012 - 09:24
This report by our Planning and Housing Committee captures the challenges involved in making neighbourhood plans a reality in London, and sets down markers to light the way.
The Government wants the Localism Act to give people genuine power at a local level to shape how their neighbourhoods develop, beyond just responding to consultations on planning applications.
The Committee supports this intention, but believes the Mayor and boroughs need to make space in London’s existing – and unique - planning regime if the plans are to have a realistic shot at success.
22 February, 2012
Our report says childcare costs in the capital are up to a third higher than elsewhere in the UK - an average of £119 a week for a child under two years old.
On average, London families spend a larger proportion of their income on childcare and travel than people in the rest of the country. However, Londoners do not get extra financial help to meet higher childcare costs.
