Manifesto Pledges (3)

  • Reference: 2021/1992
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
In your manifesto you pledged “I won’t lower my ambitions for expanding the public transport network.” Given that your ambitions were clearly lowered over the course of your first term, for example by cancelling your 2016 manifesto pledge of building a Rotherhithe Bridge, when is the baseline date from which you will not lower your ambitions any further?

Manifesto Pledges (2)

  • Reference: 2021/1991
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
In your manifesto you pledged to “ask TfL to consider other ways of raising income to make up for the loss of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), in a way which is consistent with my overriding aspirations to tackle London’s problems of congestion and poor air quality.” In order to be clear that you will not use this pledge to try as a sneaky justification for the introduction of road pricing, will you rule out introducing road pricing during this Mayoral term?

  • Reference: 2021/1990
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
In your manifesto you pledged to “ask TfL to explore the use of more dynamic fare pricing.” Is your intention that this would lead to higher fares at peak times, lower fares at off-peak times or some other change?

Motorcycle Parking at The Crystal (2)

  • Reference: 2021/1989
  • Question by: Keith Prince

  • Reference: 2021/1988
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
In your answer to question 2021/1359, you claimed that, with regard to proposed motorcycle parking provision at the Crystal, “changes were made to the proposals to reflect London Plan policy requirements on motorcycle parking.” Please provide details, including full and exact quotations, of how the London Plan prohibits motorcycle parking provision.

Memorialising Crossrail Deaths

  • Reference: 2021/1986
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
Following up on (a) your responses to questions 2018/2614 and 2018/2991 in autumn 2018 and (b) the Transport Commissioner’s recent announcement of his intention to build a memorial to London Transport Workers who had “given up their lives for the travelling public” as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tfl-staff-jab-priority-69-die-co…), will you now commit TfL to ensuring that a suitable memorial is designed and placed at a public point along the Elizabeth Line to highlight that three cyclists and one pedestrian were killed by lorries working under contract to Crossrail during its construction?

Refusal to Benchmark London’s Transport Worker Covid-19 Deaths against Peer World Cities

  • Reference: 2021/1985
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
Taking into account your negative response to question 2020/2574 does London’s poor showing for pedestrian deaths from buses on the independently-constructed international benchmark—as evidenced in your response to Question 2020/3828 - explain your reluctance to independently benchmark London’s Transport Worker Covid-19 Deaths against Peer World Cities?
