A constituent has raised the issue of the cycle lane on the south side of the A316 between Clifford Avenue and Larkfield Road. While it is segregated from the lanes for vehicle traffic, the cycle lane stops and starts at every side road on to the A316, giving motor vehicles priority over people on bicycle or on foot. This is one of many examples of poor quality cycle lanes alongside busy roads, so when can Londoners expect to see examples like this upgraded, and made safe and appealing to use?

The campaign organisation Transport for All has had to write to Westminster Council complaining that newly licensed outdoor dining areas on streets have blocked access to people using wheelchairs and made them difficult for others to use safely. What guidance has Transport for London (TfL) provided to ensure that much-needed outdoor space for London’s bars and restaurants actually improves accessibility both to businesses and for passing through these areas?

The Energy and Carbon statement for the Silvertown Road Tunnel states that emissions due to the project would represent a 0.4 per cent increase in projected 2030 emissions for road transport in London. Given that this tunnel will have a high proportion of freight traffic which cannot be decarbonised as rapidly as other vehicles, will the proportion of London’s overall road emissions from traffic using the tunnel and approaches increase as you decarbonise other road transport and what analysis of this have you carried out?

Highways England has found that carbon emissions are 8 per cent higher than expected for the M3 Smart Motorway J2 to J4a scheme, because a higher than expected proportion of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are using this road. Given that the Silvertown Road Tunnel will encourage HGVs by providing them with access to a bus lane, can you share modelling that shows what proportion of HGVs you expect to be in traffic created by this new urban motorway?
