What is the potential impact on the landscape of homes constructed as a result of the Airspace Development Fund?

Airspace Development Fund (1)

  • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
Does the GLA have any association with Skyroom and their Airspace Development Fund which boroughs have bid for?

Metropolitan Police Mental Health Callouts

  • Reference: 2022/1556
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
Over the last five years, the Metropolitan Police has responded to 130,000 mental health related callouts. Whilst blue light collaboration is vital, do you agree that this is a consequence of the Government’s underfunding of the NHS and their failed pledge to give mental health parity of esteem with physical health?

Air Filters in London’s Schools

  • Reference: 2022/1555
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
Data that I obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request showed that the Government has only provided 141 London schools with air filters as part of their national scheme. Do you agree that this scheme should now be expanded and relaunched to ensure more London schools can tackle poor air quality and the transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses in the classroom?

Metropolitan Line Issue (2)

  • Reference: 2022/1554
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
Constituents asked me to investigate a lack of information about Metropolitan line trains at Northwood Hills station on Good Friday. They claim there were no staff at the station and recorded messages failed to mention why certain trains did not stop. TfL have since written to me to apologise. How do we ensure better customer service and information for passengers going forward?

Metropolitan Line (1)

  • Reference: 2022/1553
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
There have been delays on the Metropolitan line and safety concerns have been expressed after a fault was found on some of the wheels. I know that the Mayor holds safety paramount and will not compromise it. Will the Mayor update me on the safety works going on with this line and also update me about when normal service shall resume?

Ealing Council Using ANPR Cameras to Catch Fly-Tippers

  • Reference: 2022/1552
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
Ealing Council is introducing new automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera technology as part of its enforcement against fly-tipping in the borough. The first is in Southall, with one in Northolt next in line. More than 1,000 reports of fly-tipped rubbish are reported every month in Ealing – about 35 a day. This costs more than a quarter of a million pounds a year to clean up. Whilst I recognise that you do not have any legal powers in the area, do you agree that this approach could usefully be replicated by other councils?

Primary School Places

  • Reference: 2022/1551
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
There is significant variation in the number of children being offered their first preference for primary school. Although the average from all of London is 87.9%, this ranges widely from 94% to 66% by borough. Given your previous comments on the importance of providing a good school place for every child in London, would you please outline what it is that makes one borough more successful at awarding a first-choice primary school than another?

Diesel Cars and ULEZ

  • Reference: 2022/1550
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
A constituent claims his 2014 ‘clean diesel’ car, for which he pays £20 a year road tax, is apparently not green enough for ULEZ. He wants to know why he should have to replace it at a cost of thousands of pounds. Can you please explain why a car that costs so little to tax falls foul of ULEZ?

Housing Associations Rent

  • Reference: 2022/1547
  • Question by: Sem Moema
  • Meeting date: 19 May 2022
What recent steps have you taken to press housing associations to maintain their rents at social and affordable levels for existing tenants?
