The London Growth Plan published on 27 February 2025, says: “Frontier innovation thrives in walkable districts”. Walking and wheeling are the most affordable forms of transport, support increased expenditure in retail and create livelier town centres. Despite this, the London Growth Plan contains no proposals for growing active travel. Could you explain this oversight?

Tesla appears to be shielding drivers who lease its cars from prosecution for driving offences, according to a report in the Evening Standard in a 6 January 2025 article, ‘Elon Musk's Tesla convicted repeatedly for failing to cooperate with UK police’. The article describes: “Another driver was caught speeding in west London near to a primary school but was also spared punishment.” What action are you taking to ensure that people leasing vehicles from Tesla are not insulated from the consequences of their behaviour behind the wheel in London?

A constituent has told me that vehicle leasing companies do not reliably pass on letters relating to Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to their leasees, instead paying the fine and charging it to the lessee with an additional fee. This means drivers are receiving communications on driving offences through an intermediary and may not pick up detailed messaging about safer driving. Is Transport for London (TfL) aware of this issue and, if so, what consideration is given to the way in which PCN letters are received by Londoners who drive a leased vehicle?

A constituent has raised concerns about super bright, fully animated window displays now seen in many betting shops in London and their contribution to road danger. The advertising industry has voluntary standards for on-street advertising which limit animation to avoid causing safety issues for road users. It appears the gambling industry is not taking the same safety-first approach in its window displays. Are you concerned that these animated adverts may lead to distracted driving and have you considered taking any action?

Could you tell me whether any analysis is made of the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) ratings on adverts on the Transport for London (TfL) estate, to ensure that any statistics featured refer to the safety of all road users, particularly people walking and cycling, rather than just ratings referring to the safety of vehicle occupants?

At the London Assembly Plenary meeting on 13 February 2025 on Fire and Rescue Services in London, the London Fire Commissioner said: “we are talking about basics here, which is enough toilets for women, because until 2021 we did not even give the women we employed enough toilets or changing space." Could you tell: a) how many toilets are provided in each fire station broken down by gender, b) how many stations have insufficient toilet and changing facilities for women firefighters, and c) when do you expect any shortfall toilet provision across the London Fire Brigade (LFB) estate to be...

Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for parking offences on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) have recently been raised; have you considered lobbying the Government for a similar increase for speeding fines?

A constituent has written to me confused by the three different maps for the Silvertown road tunnel cross-river cycle shuttle-bus service published by Transport for London (TfL). The first map was produced for the cycle shuttle consultation, the second with the press release for the opening date for the tunnel, and the third, in a booklet for residents. In two of these maps, connections are shown between cycle routes on Tidal Basin Roundabout and Silvertown Way that do not exist. Will you produce up an updated map of cycle routes that meet your cycleway standards before the Silvertown road tunnel...
