Since I received the response from the Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Will Norman, to my letter about the closure of the Greenway in east London and diversions for people walking and cycling, Newham Cyclists have said that Thames Water "will considerably extend the closure (in time AND distance). TfL [Transport for London] and Newham [Council] need to step up and deliver a safe, protected route on the streets. Otherwise Newham has no meaningful north/south cycle network.” Given this development, what action will you take to provide a safe, protected alternative to the closed Greenway, also known as Cycleway 22 (C22)...

On 30 April 2025, Transport for London (TfL) announced the introduction of new measures to halve fare evasion across all TfL services. How will TfL take into account the findings of the June 2025 report, Independent review of train operators' revenue protection practices, from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), which found that: “passenger safeguards have not kept pace with these developments, and current revenue protection practices are largely weighted towards the industry. This may result in unfair or disproportionate outcomes with passengers being penalised for innocent or minor mistakes”?

A Transport for London (TfL) press release on 30 April 2025, TfL introduces new measures to halve fare evasion across all TfL services, said: “The investigations team will take an intelligence-led approach, using advanced tools, including TfL’s Irregular Travel Analysis Platform (ITAP) which uses ticketing and journey data, passenger information, and CCTV to identify fare evaders responsible for the greatest revenue loss.” Could you confirm that: a) a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) has been carried out for ITAP, and b) that an Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) was conducted given that Londoners who don’t have office hour jobs are most...

A constituent has raised concerns with me about the content of adverts by artisan.co saying ‘Stop Hiring Humans’ and ‘You’ll Never Need a Human Again’ that were displayed at Old Street station on 5 June 2025. These adverts are from a company that is helping businesses replace workers with ‘AI [artificial intelligence] employees’. What assessment of the impact of this messaging on the local workforce did Transport for London (TfL) carry out before approving these adverts, and what standards does TfL require from advertisers using AI to generate adverts?

Thank you for your answer to my question 2025/1778 in which you provide a table with details on 319 of the 331 toilets built via the Mayor’s Good Growth Fund since 2017. Out of these 319 toilets only three include Changing Places toilets although two locations have yet to be confirmed. What process did you use to decide how and where to locate these Changing Places toilets, and what consideration was given to choosing sites that are fully open to the public?

Thank you for your answer to my question 2025/1770 pointing me to a website run by the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) for Greenwich Foot Tunnel lift status. The website was last updated on 19th May; it is not a live feed with real-time updates on whether lifts are working. With the closure of Cutty Sark Station more people will be looking for step-free alternatives for their journeys so live updates on lift status in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel are critical. If RBG does not have an Application Programming Interface (API) feed, could Transport for London (TfL) help them deliver...

Thank you for the information provided in your answer to my question 2025/1766 describing elements that ‘will help to increase bus usage and build a more attractive bus service’. Could you now tell me whether the 20km of bus lanes proposed to be delivered by boroughs over the next three years is sufficient to reverse the recent decline in bus use and to increase it in line with the mode share target in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS)?

The responses to the London Assembly motion from 2 November 2023 on Vision Zero Targets were received in August 2024 (Mayor) and April 2025 (Metropolitan Police Service [MPS]). When can the London Assembly expect responses to the 7 November 2024 motion, World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims?

A constituent has contacted me about the recent announcement of the appointment of new members to the board of Transport for London (TfL). They raised that while representation of all stakeholders including taxi drivers is important, there are no board members whose biography highlights a strong background in health and safety. They suggested that since Vision Zero is a key part of TfL’s agenda, this could be something of interest for the future. What is your response to this point, and will you consider appointing a board member who has experience in this area?
