You recently expanded your Culture at Risk team to become the Culture and Community at risk programme, however at present it does not have engagement with the Government’s Community Ownership Fund.

I understand that TfL agreed in 2019 to amend signal timings at the junction of Aldermans Hill, Cannon Hill, Forestdale and Powys Lane to allow pedestrians more time to cross safely. This junction is next to a local park and is well used by pedestrians including parents and their children and the elderly. When will the promised re-timing of the traffic lights take place?

In April 2021, the value of Healthy Start Vouchers rose by £120 a year, with the weekly standard value increasing from £3.10 to £4.25. Whilst this is a step in the right direction, do you believe that the value of the vouchers should be increased further to account for rises in food prices?
