Greenwich Road Charging (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 21 February 2007
Some of the other things raised here talk about the interaction with the existing Central Zone, in other words if you pay your Congestion Charge in Greenwich, should you be able to travel for free on the same day in the Central London Zone, or at a discount. Does Transport for London have a view on that?

The survey which you refer to that provides a number of different options for residents to comment on. One of the options that is not available is not having the scheme at all. Does that not show that you have made your mind up already?

In this fog of debate that may be going on, Mr Mayor, can you just make it quite clear that when there is a proposal, there will be consultation? If it is wider than Greenwich then clearly there has to be a different level of consultation. If it is just Greenwich, it will be a Greenwich consultation. It will be a council decision. When we have got something to consult on properly, then there will be full consultation before any decisions are made. Can we just be very clear on that?

  • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
  • Meeting date: 21 February 2007
Thank you very much, Mr Mayor, but I am really going to concentrate on midweek matches and, quite frankly, what you have said does not happen, particularly at Fulham, and I know that up at Emirates it is just a huge problem. In Fulham there are no extra trains put on and, of course, there is all the commuters going back home after a day's work, plus all the London people trying to get to the Fulham match, plus visiting supporters, and it is chaos. I put this question down because I was involved in it several times but two...

Equally, Mr Mayor, on rail closures etc that you are proposing, is your message then to football fans across London, `You will not be able to get to your favoured stadium by public transport, so you should drive'?

Underground Planning (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 21 February 2007
One of the things that has to happen is whilst the focus of TfL is about the spectators going to the Olympics, I think the reality is week in week out we have as many as 250,000 Londoners going to their local football teams, rugby teams and whatever. I just do not think enough planning has been done. Your answer does suggest that they have taken it on board but there is clear evidence, whether you look at Craven Cottage - where I will be on Saturday, at Putney Bridge - or you go to Fulham Broadway, or you go...

Finally, you mentioned the row about the Princess Diana memorial concert. Is that now resolved?

In terms of the Emirates Stadium, the capacity has doubled. What improvements have been made to the local stations like Highbury and Islington and Arsenal?

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 21 February 2007
I think that where Ken and his people need to move to, is to put pressure on the train operating companies of the over rails. For instance, Drayton Park Station, you knowwe have been waiting now for the results of the feasibility, some work to be done there, because there is absolutely no reason why Drayton Manor Park should not be brought into the service and midweek trains added to that. Certainly it is absolutely astonishing that we have 80,000 people in that locality and that over rail station is closed on a Saturday. So I think that is where...
