Thank you for your answer to my question 2025/3980, in which you said: “Recent data shows that the onboard load on route W14 at the busiest point is 18 passengers; this compares to an hourly capacity of 55.” A constituent has contacted me saying: “Just before the date of the changeover there were 1,639 daily boarders on the W12 and about 150 on the 549 bus. Straight after the changeover there were a total of 293 boarders on the W14 (the renamed W12 route, which also newly absorbed the closed down 549 route). That’s roughly 1,800 passengers reduced to 300.”...

Last month, 100 Peabody tenants living across South Thamesmead, including on Lesnes estate, Kale Road, Maran Way and Southmere, attended a meeting about the poor condition of their housing, and the apparent mismanagement by Peabody. They describe the presence of damp, mould and leaks as systemic issues, and the slowness and inadequacy of remediation work. Given they are a key development partner of yours, how will you be holding Peabody to account over their management of their homes in South Thamesmead?

Development analyst Molior’s ‘Residential Development in London’ report from October 2025 has said that development is currently ‘unviable’ – on the terms set by developers – in half of London. They go on to say developments that are currently unviable will continue to be unviable “even if the land is provided free and there are no planning obligations like CIL and affordable housing”. This suggests that your emergency housebuilding measures will not unlock new private development, but simply subsidise existing developments already considered ‘viable’. What is your response to this analysis?

In the April 2025 report, Public order policing – the Met’s approach, from the London Assembly Police and Crime committee, recommendation 11 states: “The Met should issue comprehensive new guidance for the public within the next 12 months on how new protest policing powers will be used going forward, and how it will ensure the use of these powers doesn’t infringe upon protected rights to freedom of expression and assembly. This guidance should include specific sections on the use of Serious Disruption Prevention Orders and the use of stop and search in a protest context.” The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)...
