Delivering the Mayor's manifesto [6]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Navin Shah AM: With a large number of commuters, I too was stuck at 8.30am this morning at Harrow on the Hill Station. I have personally made representations to both of you and you both have kindly not only explained the reason for the signals failure but also apologised for the failure itself. I want to leave it at that. What I want to move on to swiftly now is a question about the agency staff. Mr Mayor, in your manifesto pledge you stated that you would halve the £300 million cost of consultants and agency staff to £190.5 million...

  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Joanne McCartney AM: I am going to ask about bus services. Across your business plan period, there will be a reduction in bus services in inner London with the aim of increasing outer London bus services but in total a reduction in kilometres. Are you running enough buses to accommodate the needs of Londoners?

  • Question by: Leonie Cooper
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chairman. I just wanted to ask you about the Low-Emission Bus Zones. It is almost two years since the first Low-Emission Bus Zone was launched in Putney High Street and it has made a huge difference to Putney High Street, although we are not quite within the European Union (EU) limits. I just wondered if you could set out - and perhaps the Commissioner can add something to this as well - how we are going to be building on that with the network of Low-Emission Bus Zones over the next year.

  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My questions are on the future capital programmes. TfL has recently categorised its capital projects into critical, central, desirable and deprioritised. Will you publish a list of the projects so that we know what fits into what category?

Delivering the Mayor's manifesto [2]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Given that the Mayor has a very specific manifesto commitment to openness and transparency in his administration, can you therefore explain to me why in your written and verbal reports to last week’s TfL Board there was no update on the delay to the opening of the Northern line extension or indeed on the severe problems with the new trains and likely reduction in service on the Gospel Oak to Barking line?

Delivering the Mayor's manifesto [1]

  • Question by: Susan Hall
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Susan Hall AM: It is quite fortuitous that you are both here. Would you both like to apologise to all the people who have been stuck on the Metropolitan line this morning? I have had tweets from people saying there are people crying on trains. I have heard a message that it has taken two hours and 20 minutes to get from Amersham to Green Park, which is normally a 52-minute run. It is an absolute disgrace. I keep complaining about the Metropolitan line, but this morning was a major failure. Would you like, Mr Mayor, to apologise for the...

  • Question by: Susan Hall
  • Meeting date: 07 February 2019
Susan Hall AM: Mr Mayor, in regard to Vision Zero, can you just tell us what your targets in terms of bus deaths will be by 2020?

London Transport (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
I just wanted to come in on this because the reality is that TfL’s finances were made significantly worse under a former Conservative Mayor when this grant was cut and this is now even more compounded by the fact that London does not get its fair share of vehicle excise duty. Based on that and based on the fact that we saw a number of wasted projects where money was spent, like a Garden Bridge that no one wanted, will you be making the case to the Government in the run-up to the [Comprehensive] Spending Review to make sure that...

Disability hate crime (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
Mr Mayor, in 2014, former Assembly Member Victoria Borwick produced a report called Hidden Hate and it was about disability hate crime. One of the recommendations that she made there was that the police adopt the Pegasus reporting system and that all attacks against disabled people should all be investigated on the basis that they could be a hate crime against disabled people. Is that something that you would be willing to take to the MPS for them to adopt?

Zero carbon target for London (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Leonie Cooper
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
Thank you very much, Chairman. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to come back to the motion that we passed only at the end of December [2018] on declaring a climate emergency and to thank you for taking that forward so quickly and making that declaration. I am still very concerned - and I gather that you are as well from your reply to Assembly Member Russell - that the Government is not taking this seriously enough in terms of a 2050 target, let alone bringing forward the action that is needed. The Committee on Climate Change has also been making...
