Baker Street Two Way Conversion

  • Reference: 2023/4132
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
Local residents tell me that since the Baker Street Two Way (BSTW) conversion was completed, Gloucester Place has seen a marked increase in the amount of traffic in the area, including diesel-run coaches and articulated lorries next to Dorset Square Gardens. This increase in traffic is at odds with how the BSTW project was presented to residents and seems unnecessary given there are less residential roads parallel to Gloucester Place which could be used as alternatives. Is TfL aware of the issue and what initiatives – such as introducing traffic calming measures onto Gloucester Place – are being considered to...

C51 (2)

  • Reference: 2023/4130
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
The current planned route for the C51 takes it through Wyndham Place. Wyndham Place used to contain a semi-circular road which, in the 1970s, was paved over to create a peaceful courtyard. Today this courtyard has many uses including as: a playground for the students of the ICS London- Primary International School, an outdoor café which is part of Boxcar Baker & Deli, St. Mary’s Church which is in regular, daily use for weddings and events. In addition Wyndham Place has eleven houses and the residents of the flats and people using the church are entitled to park their vehicles...

  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
The current planned route for the C51 takes it through Enford Street. Currently, when St. Mary’s School is in session, barriers are placed at each end of Enford Street. How will bicycles navigate Enford Street when these barriers are in place?

Chief Safety Officer’s Lack of Professional Safety Accreditations

  • Reference: 2023/4128
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
Further to your response to question 2023/2119, has TfL’s Chief Safety Officer, appointed in September 2019, acquired IOSH and NEBOSH accreditations yet?

Clusters of Bus Driver Covid-19 Deaths at Metroline and Tower Transit

  • Reference: 2023/4127
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
In your response to question 2023/2115, you stated “As a matter of best practice, it was noted how other countries were responding to the crisis, including where their approach differed to that of the UK Government." Where was this ‘noted'? Can you provide me with the written evidence? Also, and as you must know, while Public Health England did not mandate PPE, it did not say it should not be used. If TfL and/or bus company management had reason to believe it was necessary —because (as you’ve alleged) you knew it was, or because of bus company experience elsewhere (i.e...

Distribution of PPE to TfL’s Dial-A-Ride Drivers on 9 April 2020

  • Reference: 2023/4126
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
In your response to question 2023/2116 you stated “UCL analysed measures taken to protect bus drivers and found lockdown was most important. Dial-a-Ride drivers were not in scope and so information on Personal Protective Equipment distributed to them would not have been provided.” Since Dial-A-Ride drivers are employed within the bus directorate and their Covid-19 deaths were bundled in with those of bus drivers, it seems incredibly odd that they were not included within the scope of work for the UCL consultancy. Was there ever consideration of their inclusion in this scope of work? If so, when was and who...
