Emma Best AM: Thank you. Good morning. I want to focus particularly on connectivity, and I found it really interesting this conversation on park-and-ride. We have been a pretty lone voice in supporting the Mayor of London’s park-and-rides. We already operate many of them across TfL station car parks. I use one most days and I am glad that it looks like we are not going to be the only ones who have concerns about building over them. Thank you and welcome to the team, Siân [Berry]! My first question probably best for you, Andy, if that is OK. I...

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to the Mayor. You froze all TfL fares under your control for the first four years of your mayoralty and in these last three years the fares have gone up due to requirements in the Government funding deal made with the pandemic. What would you like to do with fares when you are no longer bound by any Government requirements?

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Mr Mayor, I want to start with you. I want to talk about the weight of traffic there is coming into London. This really is a burden on Londoners’ shoulders, and it particularly affects outer London near our strategic roads, where there is noise and there is pollution. Obviously there are different things causing that traffic, a couple of facts are I asked outer Londoners and they told me, one in four of them, that they felt forced to. n a car because of the lack of public transport services. But there...

Elly Baker AM: Thanks, Chair. Mr Mayor, I would like to ask about the announcement yesterday by train operators backed by the Government that the vast majority of ticket offices on the railway are expected to close and announcing only 21 days for public consultation. Do you think it is right for the Government to be making this decision to close almost all of London’s suburban rail ticket offices given the value of public transport for Londoners, for London’s businesses, and then for the knock-on effect on our wider transport network?

Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Mr Mayor, yesterday we heard [Mr] Justice Swift tell the High Court that he could make no promises that he would have reached a judgment in the ULEZ expansion judicial review before August, which suggests that he has found the evidence worthy of very serious consideration. That would potentially mean, if the judgment was made on 4 August [2023], that would be just four weeks until the planned expansion date. There are many Londoners, many businesses, many charities, who are waiting on the judgment before making a...

• Question by: Caroline Russell
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to both of you. Commissioner, just last month TfL published an updated Cycling Action Plan. The Cycling Action Plan notes that the fear of collisions and road danger is the most common barrier to cycling. There are still many streets in London with too much fast-moving traffic to be safe for people who are walking and cycling. Many people tell me they are concerned the police are not doing enough to support the victims of road crime, particularly in investigations. Therefore, can you outline the responsibilities of the Road and Transport Policing...

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. Good morning, Mr Mayor and Commissioner. Congratulations on your appointment. I want to focus my questions today on Tube noise and the impact this is having on residents, day and night, in many parts of London, from south Wimbledon to Kennington to King’s Cross. Rail grinding is one of the very few tools that TfL is currently using to try to reduce noise, but internationally there are many innovations in this field. One metro in China has introduced special sleepers that have a wider base then the top, which is shown to...

• Question by: Caroline Russell
• Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Just very briefly, we in the Green Group are deeply concerned by the new evidence that has emerged that the Mayor has just raised involving the conduct of a member of the Police and Crime Committee, which I chair. All of us in the Assembly have a responsibility to uphold the highest standards in public office. We are the voice of London and Londoners expect us to abide by the law. I personally would like to request a meeting with the leader of the Conservative Group to discuss this matter and I would just...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chair. Obviously, our condolences to Assembly Member Bailey on his loss that has prevented him from coming here this morning, but the issues that relate to the video footage and also the invitation that was sent out, talking about jingling and mingling, when mingling was specifically something we were asked not to do, overrides that. There are some really important principles relating to the Nolan Principles of Public Life and showing a better standard of upholding the law amongst people who have been elected. On that basis, I hear what you say about the peerage...

Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Are you prepared to break down the entire 3,171 by postcode please and each of the boxes for and against?
