Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
I take it as genuine that the change in neighbourhood policing is intended to make London safer. This is a question to the Mayor. How do you deal with the fact that there has been a massive increase, more than doubling in recorded wounding and grievous bodily harm (GBH) under this new responsive model?

Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
I will start with the Commissioner, if I may. I am glad to see you are reviewing it, because about a year ago you said that this time you would have a review about the LPM. How long do you expect that review to take and will you make the results public to this Assembly?

HS2 (1) (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Kit Malthouse
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Mr Mayor, if you had £50 million, £60 million or £70 million - we are not quite sure what the bill on HS2 is going to be yet to the national purse - but if you had that money spare, would you rather spend it on connecting London to Birmingham, connecting London to the rest of the world or connecting southwest London to northeast London?

Unemployment (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Mr Mayor, whilst having regard to the statistics that Assembly Member Arnold put forward about the unemployment rate amongst the black communities in London, I would urge you to look at the experience of the London Development Agency (LDA) in its unsuccessful attempts to target, specifically, certain ethnic groups at a certain age in their development and I would urge you to concentrate on doing everything that you are able to do to improve the academic success rates of people within that particular group.

London's flood risk (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
I am glad you have said that because obviously there are several aspects. As you say, we have talked about river restoration before, which is an important component. There is also the fact that the Thames Barrier has been closed 40 times already this year and it was always imagined it would only ever open 50 times a year, so it has already opened almost that many times. Have you met with the Environment Agency or anybody to discuss whether or not we need to bring forward plans for a review of whether we need a new Barrier, whether we...

Step-free access at Harrow on the Hill Station (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Mr Mayor, do you welcome the chaos of the previous Labour council in Harrow? It resulted in them spending so much time fighting each other that they omitted to fight for the residents of Harrow and it is now only that Councillor Hall has taken over with the Conservative administration that they do not have that distraction anymore and are spending all their time fighting for what the residents of Harrow want.

Step-free access at Harrow on the Hill Station (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Kit Malthouse
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Mr Mayor, it would be chary of me to lose the chance to raise the issue of South Kensington step-free access with you again under this particular issue. I am sure you will be aware that Harrow on the Hill gets about just under 9 million entries and exits a year, whereas South Kensington gets just over 30 million - approximately the same number of passengers passing through its doors as Gatwick Airport - and yet remains not step-free despite the proximity to a number of tourist attractions, which are currently inaccessible to those in wheelchairs or those who are...

Step-free access at Harrow on the Hill Station (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Yes, Mr Mayor, I can see here and I can understand the fan brigade for Councillor Hall from yourselves as well as your colleagues

Flooding in Croydon (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Mr Mayor, according to Environment Agency figures, there are something like 14,000 homes with no flood cover in London. Are you prepared to take up the Prime Minister’s offer of money being no problem for these homes to be protected?

Heathrow Night Flights (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Tony Arbour
  • Meeting date: 26 February 2014
Do you not find it odd, Mr Mayor, that leading members of the Government who devised the terms of reference for the Davies Commission - Nick Clegg [Deputy Prime Minister], Vince Cable [Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills] and Ed Davey [Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change] - failed to have removed from the options, which the Davies Commission set up, the possible expansion of Heathrow? Do you not find that odd?
