Working Conditions Improvements as a result of Unite-led Bus Strikes at TfL Bus Operators Go-Ahead, Arriva, RATP, Metroline and Abellio

  • Reference: 2023/3335
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
In your response to 2023/2082, you confirmed that, "The industrial action at Abellio earlier this year was primarily around pay. Transport for London is not aware of any additional specific changes to working conditions as a result of that action.” I assume you also know that Abellio workers also were striking about changes to scheduling that would reduce stress and driver fatigue. Are you concerned that Unite called off the strike without any action from Abellio on improving those – in my view -dangerous working conditions?

Vision Zero: Failure to Provide Data on Bus Company Disciplinary Procedures resulting from Safety Incidents that could cause (or have caused) Death or Serious Injury

  • Reference: 2023/3334
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
Your responses to questions 2023/2808 and 2023/1321 baffle me. I have specifically asked for (a) the exact number of bus drivers who’ve been subjected to disciplinary hearings; and (b) the outcomes of these hearings for the at least 56 people who have been killed and 3823 people sent to hospital after bus safety incidents since you became Mayor in an “anonymised” or “aggregate” format from which no bus operator or KSI Incident could be identified. How is this information “highly sensitive” or capable of 'inhibiting the free exchange of information and TfL’s ability to work collaboratively to drive safety improvement’...

Vision Zero: Refusal to Publish Prevention of Future Deaths Reports issued to TfL and Contractors

  • Reference: 2023/3333
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
In your response to question 2023/2112, you stated, “Transport for London wrote to you in December sharing copies of the information requested. I have asked Officers to re-send this information to you”. In question 2022/2979 I asked, “Will you commit to publishing all 'Prevention of Future Deaths Reports' issued to TfL and its contractors, complete with documentary evidence showing what actions were actually taken to satisfy the coroner’s mandated actions?” Instead of purportedly sending me this information directly, why not publish the data in response and satisfy both my queries at once?

Correct Number of Bus Workers who died from Covid-19 March 2020-August 2023

  • Reference: 2023/3332
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
In your response to question 2023/2801, you provided information that 72 bus workers had died from Covid-19 and that this data reflected that “two further Covid-related deaths have subsequently been recorded since this information was last provided in June 2022”. A quick review of your response to question 2022/1629 provided data for “A breakdown of the employers of the 75 colleagues who worked on/alongside our bus services”. Accordingly, shouldn’t the correct response to question 2023/2801 be “77” and not “72” as you’ve published? How do you explain TfL seemingly “forgetting” about 5 bus workers that it has already publicly acknowledged...

Uniqlo London Underground Branded Clothing (2)

Uniqlo London Underground Branded Clothing (1)

  • Reference: 2023/3330
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
Uniqlo’s recently opened Covent Garden store is selling London Underground branded clothing. What agreement has TfL made with Uniqlo to enable these clothes to be sold?

Having No Plans to Expand the ULEZ in July 2021 (3)

  • Reference: 2023/3329
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
What made you decide that the “targeted, local measures” that you had introduced to improve air quality would not, in fact, more effectively address any poor air quality on the 8% of London’s roads that would not otherwise comply with legal NO2 limits by the end of 2021?

Having No Plans to Expand the ULEZ in July 2021 (2)

  • Reference: 2023/3328
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
Between giving me a written answer on 1 July 2021 confirming that you had no plans to extend ULEZ to outer London and changing your mind, exactly what “targeted, local measures” did you introduce to improve air quality in outer London?

Having No Plans to Expand the ULEZ in July 2021 (1)

  • Reference: 2023/3327
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
On 1st July 2021, in answer to my written Mayoral Question from May 2021, you wrote: “I have no plans to extend the ULEZ to outer London. “In March I introduced tougher London-wide Low Emission Zone standards for buses, coaches and lorries. “Combined with the ULEZ expansion in October, up to but not including the North and South Circular, this will ensure that 92 per cent of roads London-wide will comply with legal limits for NO2 by the end of 2021. Air quality on the remaining roads will be more effectively addressed through targeted, local measures. I believe that this...

Outer London Public Transport Connectivity (3)

  • Reference: 2023/3326
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2023
Given Havering will not have a single ‘Superloop’ stop, would you accept that for many of my residents the ‘Superloop’ is not “a perfect example” of your administration doing more to improve outer London’s public transport connectivity?
