What, then, in your opinion, is the most important outer London town centre to which you are addressing Londoners' resources?

Thank you. Ms Shawcross has the floor for a point of personal explanation because I am sure she will want to tell us she is not an outrider.

Mr Mayor, your Jubilee line legacy, with respect, is not much to be pleased about certainly as far as the commuters are concerned. To bring an end to the dreaded weekend closures, never-ending weekend closures and see the disruptions even during weekdays, what precisely is the latest commitment for the Jubilee line upgrades?

I really hope that we can look forward to another Labour Group outer London-themed question time soon because it does give us an opportunity to compare and contrast the current administration with the last two. Mr Mayor, we in Havering and Redbridge are of course grateful for Crossrail, and we are grateful for Oyster Pay-As-You-Go, which enables us to use those seven stations you mentioned earlier. We are grateful for the changes at the Gants Hill roundabout, which frankly have been better than I expected they would be and have bedded in very well. There remains one more legacy. I...

Let us have a proper conversation. You have said that outer London is not an undifferentiated place. So, let us talk about your outer London transport legacy for somewhere, say, like Ickenham in Hillingdon.

): Mr Mayor, would you accept that my constituents at the moment cannot move for falling over TfL investment in outer London; the investment in Henlys Corner coinciding with the Bounds Green investment on the North Circular? But would you also accept that my constituents should in fact be giving thanks in the streets, not just for that investment, but for the vastly improved service on the Northern line, for the decision to remove traffic lights at Stirling Corner, for TfL's complete change of policy on traffic lights, for the hugely increased night bus service, and for the many other...

Mr Mayor, which of the following transport legacies do you think my constituents in Bexley and Bromley will be most thankful for? Do you think it is the removal of the threat of the Thames Gateway Bridge bringing thousands of heavy goods vehicles through a small semi-rural area of suburban London or do you think it is the users of the buses in Bexley and Bromley who have seen a massive reduction of crime over the last few years? Do you think it is the residents of Crystal Palace who have seen a Hub Team or the residents in and...

Mr Mayor, you have mentioned several times in your statements in the last few minutes the Croydon tram link but can I ask you to remember that my constituents in Merton, will thank you for the extra trains that you have put on that tram link, because the tram link actually ends at Wimbledon?

The fact is there is an additional cost if you borrow because you have to pay interest and you have to pay it back.
