Thames Gateway Green Grid (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Noel Lynch
  • Meeting date: 22 October 2003
A lot has happened on the ground, but the Government has shown very little impetus to do anything about it. Will you be using your seductive skills and tenacity to chase the Government into this?

It is not true.

Certainly, in Barnet, we are coning roads where buses are having difficulties passing each other and getting through, and we are coning roads around the bus pick up points so that these buses can move freely. Finally, is the Mayor satisfied that the buses that are being provided are safe and of sufficient quality? If one just looks at the registration numbers it does seem we have dragged in every old bus from anywhere in the South of England.

I have some figures in front of me which I am happy to share with the Mayor which tell us that in 1996/97 there were four derailments on running lines; one in 1997/98; one in 1998/99; three in 1999/00; and four in 2000/01. The fact that there are four within two days is obviously very alarming. Obviously, as you say, we need to look at the trend. It worries me that, as with all these rail incidents we have a grave responsibility to ensure that we maintain public confidence in our transport systems. It would be very helpful, and this...

Of course, Camden Town is in my Barnet and Camden constituency. I was there on Sunday afternoon. Since then I have been working very closely, particularly with the officers of the London Borough of Barnet, to try and ameliorate the situation we have. I would like to press the Mayor on specific issues to try and make life easier for the 750,000 constituents and others like myself who use the Northern Line on a daily basis. Will the Mayor suspend the road works on the Transport for London (TfL) controlled A41?

I refer to your statement on BBC London News: `Bob and I are not in charge. It has been privatised." I find that extremely unsatisfactory from the Mayor of London. I am not sure if you are a Mayor or a mouse of London perhaps, because it is not good enough.

We are doing that.

  • Meeting date: 22 October 2003
The Mayor talked about residents using other public transport providers. Will the Mayor accept that many residents will have no choice in this situation but to use their cars? Therefore, will he make the necessary arrangements? I expect the answer would include a suspension of congestion charging and extra car parking provision in Central London for the thousands of people in the London Borough of Barnet who now have no choice but to drive into Central London whilst there is no Tube service in my Borough.

A point of information. Will the Mayor tell us how he is going to keep Assembly Members informed? Will it be a weekly direct bulletin from you to Members? Can you tell us how you are going to keep us informed? It would be much better than listening to you on the radio.

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 22 October 2003
I think it is a matter of wide knowledge that the reason there was no scrutiny into this is because the debate on it would have been largely a name-calling and ideologically driven debate between different factions of politics in London. I think that illustrates the unsatisfactory nature ultimately of the PPP. As you know, Labour members supported it but we supported it with a number of checks attached to it, the fundamental one being about safety. Rather than name-calling today, we need to ask ourselves as Londoners whether we got it right on safety, which is obviously what people...
