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?

In the Transport for London (TfL) press release for the consultation on cycling services through the Silvertown Road Tunnel, it is claimed that these services will support a growth in cycling. The Director of Investment and Delivery Planning at TfL is quoted as saying: “These cross-river cycling proposals are a key part of our commitment to ensuring that the Silvertown Tunnel supports growth in cross-river cycling use.” What growth in cycling are you expecting from these services, and what is the baseline you are going to measure any growth from?

The planning team at Transport for London (TfL) maintains the WebCAT online planning tool which gives Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) and Time mapping (TIM) for the Greater London area. However, all relevant data ceases at the GLA boundary making it unfit for purpose at the edges of London. Could this tool be expanded to show PTAL and TIM results beyond the GLA boundary?

A constituent has contacted me via the London Assembly website to suggest the following question: “Noting the 2021 London Plan commitment to Green infrastructure (Policy G1) – ‘London’s network of green and open spaces, and green features in the built environment, should be protected and enhanced.’ – could you set out your expectation to London boroughs to reflect policies in the London Plan, so that land designated as local open green space should not be approved for housing development, and should be explicitly protected from housing development in Local Plans?”
