Part Time Travelcard (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
The Government has recently announced a whole range of ticketing proposals including part-time season tickets and the Government has said, “For a number of commuters using the railway 9.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, is no longer the reality. ” We know that when you talk to people across London. “We believe the railway should provide a better offer for commuters travelling fewer than five days a week.” Do you agree with the Government on this?

Part Time Travelcard (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
OK, but this feels a very long way off, what you are talking about, yet you have been receptive to this idea I have put to you before. There are around 900,000 people working part-time in and around London and, if you look at London and the south east, over 2 million people are now working part-time. It is the highest number since records began on this. In your own jobs plan, you want to increase the number of part-time workers. The existing Travelcards really only help if you work five days a week. Would you accept that really, if...

Homes for Londoners or investors (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
Are you going to do anything at all to clamp down on developers with these unacceptable types of housing projects? Are you going to do anything at all?

Homes for Londoners or investors (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
You have the overall planning policy-making powers through your London Plan and through your Housing Strategy. You have the planning decision-making powers on these large developments. Are you not going to clamp down on this sort of abuse of the planning process?

Homes for Londoners or investors (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
Looking at the implementation of your housing policies through some of your planning decisions, for example, you signed off on a 37-storey tower block called One The Elephant last November. There are 284 flats there. There is no affordable housing whatsoever in those 284 units. In fact, the developers said they would not get as much money for the flats if the buyers had to mix with Londoners living in affordable housing. Is this acceptable?

Parental Employment (Supplementary) [1]

Mr Mayor, given the acknowledged importance of this issue, will you commit to developing a proper mayoral strategy for tackling the low levels of parental employment and the problems of childcare in London?

2020 and Nitrogen Dioxide legal limits (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
Richard Tracey (AM):Thank you, Chair. One thing, Mr Mayor, that you could do as Chairman of TfL is to instruct that drivers should not leave the buses' engines ticking over when they change drivers, which is something some of my colleagues, the councillors in Wandsworth, have been going on about for a very long time. We accept that you are bringing in more and more clean buses, but those that are not so clean should not be left ticking over. Richard Tracey (AM): Yes, indeed. Richard Tracey (AM): It has been taken up by several of the excellent Wandsworth Conservative...

Closure of Fire Stations (Supplementary) [10]

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
Fiona Twycross (AM): The only person, Boris, being party political on this is you because you are pushing through Conservative cuts from the Conservative Government on the Fire Service in London which are deeply unpopular and you are failing to listen to Londoners on this issue. Londoners do not want small changes on this. They wanted you to listen and, as has been said by several people in this room, 94% of Londoners who took part in the consultation oppose these cuts because they believe, as we believe, that they put the lives and livelihoods of Londoners at risk. Tomorrow...
