• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): Thank you. You are now out of time. Before I take the last questioner, I just want to give a bit of a shout-out to Assembly Member Hirani’s guests. They are year 12 students from Pinner High School in Harrow. You are there. We will wave to you. There we go. Let us move back. We have probably a very special moment, Assembly Member Hall with your 42 seconds. Susan Hall AM: Thank you very much. I would like to repeat the comments made by my colleague about that very talented footballer. My grandsons will...

• Question by: Bassam Mahfouz
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): Assembly Member Mahfouz. Bassam Mahfouz AM: Thank you, Chair. Before I start, just as a fellow Liverpool fan, I am sure you would also want to share your condolences over the sad loss this morning in a traffic accident in Spain of course of Diogo Jota [Portuguese professional footballer], his life cut short too early. Liverpool fans across the country of course are shocked by that. Moving from road safety, you know how important to me accessibility is and I know how important it is to you. That is why you put in your manifesto...

• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Emma Best AM: Thank you and good morning to you both. We now have some clarity over the Government’s future funding for structures and road maintenance. We have seen the structures fund announced in advance of the CSR. After that fund was announced, our local MP in Chingford and Woodford Green, Iain Duncan Smith, met with Lilian Greenwood [MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Future of Roads] about funding for Broadmead Bridge. I just wanted to know your future plans for making the case for Broadmead Bridge to get money out of that fund and with a note that 17...

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): Thank you. Let us move on to the next set of questions from Assembly Member McCartney, Assembly Member Best, Assembly Member Mahfouz and maybe Assembly Member Baker. Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is to the Commissioner, and I want to ask about road danger and road safety. Can I just start by thanking you for taking action on speeding on the A10? Last time you were in front of us, I raised the issue of the northern part of the A10 in Enfield having average speed cameras but not the southern part. I...

• Question by: Hina Bokhari OBE
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Léonie Cooper AM: Next up, Chair, we have Assembly Member Bokhari. She has 30 seconds. Hina Bokhari OBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, it has been reported that Hammersmith Bridge could reopen with repair money from the £1 billion Transport Infrastructure Fund announced in the Chancellor’s CSR. Will you make representations to the Transport Secretary to explore this option further and make it happen?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): OK, let us move on, then. The next one on my list is Assembly Member Cooper. Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I am sorry. I am a bit astonished, really. Apparently, we discovered last month that you cannot own a dog unless you own a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and we have now discovered you cannot get pregnant unless you own a car. I will not ask you to answer my astonishment, Mr Mayor. I actually wanted to ask you not about that but about the issue that comes back really to...

• Question by: Alessandro Georgiou
• Meeting date: 03 July 2025

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): Assembly Member Georgiou. Alessandro Georgiou AM: Good morning, gentlemen. I hope both you and your families are doing well. Mr Mayor, last week a Survation poll found that 57 per cent of women do not feel safe on the streets of London and 47 per cent have been followed by a man at least once. Given this, do you recognise why many women, particularly women travelling alone, would want their car easily available to enable them to drive to their nearest Tube station closest to their home?

Len Duvall OBE AM (Chair): The next set of questions will come from Assembly Member Clarke, Assembly Member Georgiou, Assembly Member Cooper, and Assembly Member Bokhari. Sorry, Assembly Member Clarke. Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, Mr Mayor and Andy. Sadiq, do you believe the Thameslink should be brought into the TfL network?
