  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
Can you please confirm how and when the £535m unallocated funds from the 2016-23 affordable housing programme will be allocated and spent?

Tower Hamlets PTS

  • Reference: 2021/2304

Does Tower Hamlets’ permit transfer scheme (PTS) comply with paragraph 10.6.1 and Policy T6 in the New London Plan?

One year of restrictions on travel with a freedom pass

  • Reference: 2021/2294
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
Next month it will be one year since travel on the TfL network using a Freedom Pass or 60+ Oyster card before 9am on weekdays was suspended. Over 1,000 older Londoners have contacted Age UK London to share the devastating impact this is having on them. Those most affected are low income older Londoners with no choice about when they travel and include carers, patients, volunteers and keyworkers. Now that restrictions are easing and services increasing, when will the suspension, introduced as a ‘temporary’ measure, be lifted?

Bus service review delay

  • Reference: 2021/2293
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
The Transport for London (TfL) funding deal requires you to review bus services by 19 July 2021. Cutting bus services before we have data from term-time demand risks services Londoners have avoided due to Government advice being wrongly removed. Will you press Government to let you pause this review until there is better data on bus demand in the autumn?

Climate impact of July bus service review

  • Reference: 2021/2292
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
The Transport for London (TfL) funding deal requires you to review bus services by 19 July 2021. Cutting bus services not only removes vital public transport from Londoners but also risks the UK failing to meet international climate agreements. Will you include details of the potential climate impact of cuts to bus services, including the impact of people moving from bus to car where frequencies reduce or services are withdrawn, in any review?

Traffic reduction to meet climate agreements

  • Reference: 2021/2291
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
Transport for West Midlands has published a research review ( https://corporate.tfwm.org.uk/media/64219/tfwm-quarterly-research-paper… Issue 8, Sep-Nov 2020) which estimated a need for a 33-58 per cent reduction in car km in that area by 2030-2035 to meet the Paris Climate Change agreement. This has now been confirmed by an analysis by Atkins which found a need for a 58 per cent reduction in car mileage by 2031. For London, what similar estimates do you have for the need for traffic reduction by 2030 to meet climate targets, and how has that estimate changed as climate ambitions have increased?

Traffic monitoring for the Silvertown Road Tunnel

  • Reference: 2021/2290
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
The Ernst and Young audit of the Silvertown Road Tunnel says that an average of 91,000 daily trips use the Blackwall Tunnel. Would any increase in traffic above this level be considered by you to be a worsening of traffic conditions as defined by schedule 2 of The Silvertown Tunnel Order 2018?

Traffic flows at Blackwall Tunnel

  • Reference: 2021/2289
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
What level of traffic flow has Transport for London (TfL) recorded through the Blackwall Tunnel in annual average daily traffic in each direction, by year and class of vehicle, since the year 2000?

Silvertown Road Tunnel construction risk

  • Reference: 2021/2288
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
In your answer to question 2020/2626 you said that Transport for London (TfL) had transferred a significant proportion of construction risk to Riverlinx. Could you confirm what proportion or level of construction risk TfL considers itself to hold, where this is recorded in any public papers, if any, and what provision TfL is making for this risk?

Unreliable lifts at Greenwich Foot Tunnel

  • Reference: 2021/2286
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 June 2021
Constituents have raised concerns with me that the lifts at the Greenwich Foot Tunnel are now unreliable, with the north lift currently out of service. This leaves people walking and cycling with stairs to climb to exit the tunnel, often whilst carrying bicycles or buggies. Will you invest in improved access at this and other existing crossings now that both your proposed Rotherhithe bridge and replacement ferry have been cancelled?
