After the result of the [Brexit] referendum in 2015 there was a spike in hate crime and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has warned that there is a real possibility there will be a similar increase in reports in the coming months. I have raised this before with you. Do you share my and HMICFRS’s concerns over this possibility?

Returning to that earlier subject, if I may, Mayor, I will give you a more graphic example. I am proud to be a member of the Croydon Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) Board on an advisory basis. In the budget last year [2017/18] under the previous scheme, they were able to add, in essence, six officers to the town centre to keep Croydon town centre safe within the budget that they had. Within the same budget this year [2018/19] under the new scheme, they could buy two‑and‑a‑quarter officers. They could add two officers to the town centre. This is...

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, in view of that High Court challenge, are you satisfied that due process was followed in the purchase of the Silvertown Partnership by Lendlease and Starwood?

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you. Just on the availability of rapid chargers, it is not only installing enough new ones, it is also making sure that the existing ones are actually working. We are hearing about people saying that they are often out of order. What are you doing specifically to make sure that the chargers that are already installed are reliably working?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Commissioner, relations with some in the taxi and private hire industry seem to have broken down given the recent blockades and strikes happening outside Palestra. Can you tell me what you are doing to repair that relationship, please?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Apologies, kids. Mr Mayor, coming back to the ULEZ and the fact that it is the poorest Londoners who are suffering with poor air quality, the action that you are introducing will have a big impact on helping children like this in terms of improving their lungs. I know that there is a scrappage scheme you have launched and I should declare an interest in that I do have a car and I do drive but it is literally to Tesco’s and back. The fact is that there are a number of small businesses who are concerned...

Caroline Russell AM: I would just like to come in on this question since the lead-off question was looking at subsidy and motorists and ask you about any progress that you are making on workplace parking levies.

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Susan Hall AM: The point is that we agree with the ULEZ but not being brought in when it is because it is damaging small businesses. You say you are going to be the most pro‑business Mayor ever. There is absolutely no evidence of that going forward whatsoever. You said you expect the opening of ULEZ to run pretty smoothly. If it does go badly or less well than you think it is going to go, will you learn lessons from that and consider making changes to your plans for the 2021 expansion?

Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, you have said that by March 2021 you will have started on property development sites covering 320 acres of TfL land that will support 10,000 new homes. In June 2016 the Commissioner said that this is very much the first phase. When will you announce what phase two will comprise?
