Are you saying that this is not even likely to start before 2006?

So your judgement is that having gone back home, the compromise that was agreed at the meeting was not workable?

• Question by: Andrew Pelling
• Meeting date: 18 June 2003

To what extent are you willing to use your power over this particular proposal to ensure that there is a compromise that at least makes an effort to salve the concerns of the nearby residents? I am concerned that Sutton Council may do nothing at all with this.

Obviously buses could be re-directed. Why do you feel that having come to an understanding at the meeting that you kindly hosted, Sutton Council felt it necessary to write in the local press that they would look to see how things developed and might not even take advantage of this offer of money for this compromise and change in the nearby residential roads?

There seems to be two versions of what happened at this meeting: one held by Andrew Pelling; and one held by the Sutton Council officers to whom I have now spoken who were at the meeting. Can I first ask you if any notes were taken and subsequently agreed of what was actually agreed at the meeting? Do they exist? Secondly, my understanding is that you agreed with Sutton Council officers that the ban on the right turn should go ahead first, we should see what the effects of that actually are, rather than what people think they might be...

Mr Mayor, you will be pleased to know that young people in Wanstead in my part of London are feeling much safer now because of the local Police Commander's decision to re?open Wanstead Police Station. Do you now regret your decision not to support this local campaign last year?
