The disability campaign group Transport for All has successfully lobbied Westminster Council to provide asphalt ramps in locations where dropped kerbs have been missing for several years, and permanent changes are not scheduled.

Keeping bus fares affordable

  • Reference: 2021/2798
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
Your manifesto committed to keep bus fares as low as possible. On current projections, with annual increases of Retail Prices Index (RPI) plus 1 per cent, this means a single bus fare could reach £1.80 by January 2024. Will you commit to preventing this?

Adverts for gambling on the Transport for London network

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
There has been an observable increase in the number of advertisements for gambling, spread betting and risky investments on the tube network in recent weeks. How are you monitoring this, could you provide any data on the number of campaigns that have been accepted from these companies, and do you consider this increase in promotion appropriate in light of the financial struggles faced by many Londoners today?

Climate Change Committee advice on road building

  • Reference: 2021/2796
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
In its June 2021 progress report and recommendations to Parliament, the Climate Change Committee has added a new recommendation to the Department for Transport, saying: “Decisions on investment in roads should be contingent on analysis justifying how they contribute to the UK’s pathway to Net Zero. This analysis should demonstrate that the proposals would not lead to increases in overall emissions.” Will you take note of this advice and pause and review the Silvertown Road Tunnel project? And if not, why not?

Decarbonisation support in the bus service review

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
Vehicle range and the availability of garage infrastructure both help determine where it is feasible for Transport for London (TfL) to move bus operations to electric and hydrogen buses.
