Cleanliness around Stations (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Meg Hillier
  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
That was not as unequivocal an answer as I would like because locally we are already taking steps legally. We can do it station by station, borough by borough, with individual groups and elected members. Will you give your weight to a more blanket legal approach before any transfer? I also look forward to a resolution of the London rail issue, but we all know that will not be quick. What about now?

Cleanliness around Stations (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Meg Hillier
  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
Locally, we are surveying stations in order to follow the LTUC guidelines. You mentioned talking to the Chair. Will you be considering a London-wide crackdown on Network Rail, because frankly, Mayor, with your political weight, if you said to Network Rail that this will not do in London you would underline the zero tolerance you indicated in your answer to the question from Hackney Free and Parochial School? Our evidence shows that it is Network Rail who is the criminal here, and not the train operators in the stations we surveyed.

You said at the beginning that one thing you could have done better was to be nicer to us. I am not sure all of us could cope with that. Do you then regret four years describing the Labour Assembly Members here as very much Labour's `second eleven', or did the first 20 minutes of this Question Time confirm you in that view?

Will you be able to get in touch with me pretty quickly?

Achievements (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
TfL (Transport for London) has promised each council £3,000 to set up disability forums in each of the 32/33 boroughs. Your Disability Inclusion Unit is undergoing change management and is withdrawing its commitment until it has conducted a review. Can you shed light on this, or is this just a pre-election promise? Will you be counting this as one of your grand achievements?

Was that not your problem?

Achievements (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
Can I just start by saying: well done. There are not many politicians that set out a manifesto over a four-year period and who are then able to turn to the people who elected them and say that they have delivered for them. Let us have the grace to say well done. Can you tell us once more what the defining moment was for you in terms of standing up for Londoners those Londoners who have been berated in the press, those Londoners who are the backbone of this city, those Londoners who come here to seek safety? What was...

  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
Are there specific things you think you could have done better over the last four years?

Achievements (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
Four years ago, you were going around London saying that more road building merely creates more traffic, the politicians have learned their lesson, and we should be investing in public transport and not building new roads.

  • Meeting date: 28 April 2004
What do you consider to be your most environmentally damaging decision over the past four years? Would it be the decision to back the six-lane road crossing in East London, the decision to widen the North Circular, the decision to back the destruction of part of Erith Marshes, the decision to back the destruction of part of Spitalfields Market, or the decision, at least until today, to back airport expansion at Stansted and Gatwick?
