Mr Mayor, I attended a meeting a few weeks back of the local community concerning the future of Hampstead police station and with only the exception of the Liberal Democrat councillor who appeared to be reading from a script, the general consensus of that meeting was that Hampstead police station was not fit for purpose and that the local community welcomed the alternative uses for it.

Mr Mayor, when you were in Croydon yesterday did you take the time to visit South Norwood police station where there has been a firm and settled proposal to close that station which was published in September?

I would like to take this opportunity Boris to commend the Acting Borough Commander at Redbridge who ran a stakeholder consultation session with us last week about the future of public access in Redbridge. I know members of the council were there really from all sides who were concerned about the robustness of some of the public access statistics which the exercise is based on. Could you just make sure that the statistics that are used to inform this process are as solid as they can be, because we do not want to undermine --

I first heard about this on Monday. The officer who contacted me told me she had taken a week to find my email, which does not say much for the detective skills of the Metropolitan Police Service as I had actually given them those details to both borough commanders when I was first elected. I was told they had to come in by Thursday this week which does not really give much time. On 19 September in answer to Mayor's Questions you told me there were no plans to close West Hampstead. On 17 October you said the same about...

Thank you for that. Both your Deputy and yourself in September said to me when I asked about police front counters, you said in a direct answer to me, you said that you would publish plans for boroughs and invite the public to comment on them. Is that still the intention?

The core fact is that the public want more constables on the street, so they are looking forward to the 2,000 extra police officers that you pledged in the election.

Tom Copley (AM): I just wanted to very quickly ask the Mayor if he would congratulate Ken Livingstone for securing the £5 billion that he used to build the 55,000 affordable homes that he comes here every month and tells us about?

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Tony Arbour (AM): Are you aware, Mr Mayor, that the providers of sub standard bed and breakfast accommodation and the providers of beds in sheds are rubbing their hands with glee over the proposals made by the Government for allowing people to double the size of extensions in rear gardens without planning consent? Clearly, this is going to be an open door to provide the kind of sub standard accommodation which Mr Copley has been talking about. Do you not think that this extraordinary proposal from the Government, which will destroy many parts of your London Plan about garden grabbing...

Steve O'Connell (AM): Really only the question that I think there is something like 170,000 permitted planning applications within London --

Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you very much. On the present subject, whilst I very much understand and appreciate the frustrations out there in neighbourhoods and communities around uncertainties, will you agree with me and confirm that under your direction the Deputy Mayor [for Policing and Crime] will be preparing a MOPAC business plan, policing plan with an estate strategy and also oversee the rollout of the local policing model that will give certainty to the neighbourhoods and Members around the policing model for years to come.
