Presentations made to the TfL Advertising Steering Group

  • Reference: 2022/3942
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
I note from the regular minutes of the Transport for London (TfL) Advertising Steering Group that presentations are made to these meetings by each advertising partner detailing the number of advertisements a) run, b) referred to TfL for approval or rejection, and c) rejected without TfL referral. These presentations also give details of complaints and examples of best practice. Given that this information is later compiled and summarised in a similar way for each Advertising Annual Report, could you provide copies of these more frequent presentations to me and, in future, release them alongside the minutes of each meeting?

However, the summary table of advertising for different categories of product on page 19 does not list these types of adverts in a separate category.

Carbon pathway for reduction vehicle kilometres by borough (2)

  • Reference: 2022/3939
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
Your January 2022 report, London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway, contains a scenario that would reduce car vehicle kilometres by 27 per cent by 2030 to reduce transport emissions. The pathways tool that accompanies the report does not provide any breakdown of the necessary reduction in car vehicle kilometres by borough, and instead represents these changes by broad groups of traffic and type of fuel. Could you provide a table that gives the reduction in vehicle kilometres, by type of vehicle, by year from 2020 to 2030 that each borough in London needs to deliver?
