A constituent has contacted me concerned that pedestrian and cycling crossings are staying out of action for several days after they have been damaged by collisions from vehicles. For each year since 2018 could you provide: a) the number of crossings that have been taken out of action by a collision, b) the average number of days it took from collision to repair, c) the cost of repairing crossings so affected, and d) the costs recovered from those who caused the collision with the crossing?

I was saddened to hear of the death of a woman cycling on Battersea Bridge from a collision with an HGV, whose driver failed to stop at the scene on 10 August 2023. Will Transport for London (TfL) be urgently reviewing the collision history and safety audit of every major bridge in London where HGVs are permitted, but there is no protected space for cycling and particularly where barriers at the side of the bridge may pose a crush risk?

When pressed to provide evidence for comments related to your leadership of Transport for London (TfL), the Department for Transport (DfT) said that scrutiny of TfL is a matter for the London Assembly. Given this, are you able to provide me with a complete dossier of information, including letters and other correspondence that would give a full account, in one place, of the negotiations with the Government on TfL funding deals since 2020?
