Nick Rogers AM: Good afternoon, Mr Mayor. I agree it is vital that we reduce road danger in London. I also agree, as you say, that there is further action that is needed. Constituents have recently brought to my attention a situation that is increasing road danger exposure for school children in parts of Whitton and Twickenham.

The traditional high street model is struggling. As you mentioned, your High Streets for All programme encourages local authorities to improve the offer on the high street. Sutton Council have taken really bold action by taking ownership of buildings and creating leisure spaces, hybrid units, where council services and community spaces operate together.
