Costs are higher in London and this is a challenge that Government itself faces in directly funding the capital. Be it capital city function funding for the police, the, in my view, vindictive cuts to TfL funding or the recent cuts to university funding, do you believe London is being targeted by the Government for cuts? Is this levelling down London, instead of levelling up the rest of the country, as they promised?

When planning permission was granted for the improvement of West Hampstead Overground station, the community in NW6 was looking forward to the greater space this would afford pedestrians on the extremely busy and constrained West End Lane bridge. TfL have since said that demolition of the former ticket office would be too costly, but the benefit for this busy interchange and important neighbourhood would be immense. West Hampstead residents regularly report having to step into the congested road, putting all road users at risk including pedestrians themselves and people cycling. Please can TfL agree to a meeting with TfL senior...

TfL have told residents at Fitzroy Square that grinding is unnecessary, as noise is not caused by the condition of the rail. Is this accurate? If so, what is the cause of the noise in excess of 50Db in homes there?

In response to question 2021/0845 you advised “The MPS does not make referrals to CrimeStoppers”. Within the report Safe to Share?, conducted by HMICFRS, the IOPC and the College of Policing into Southall Black Sisters and Liberty’s super complaint on policing and immigration status, it is noted that “The police may also pass information to the Home Office through the Immigration Enforcement Hotline, a service managed by the independent UK charity Crimestoppers. In 2018, the police made 2,853 reports through this service, accounting for just over 4 percent of the total reports that the hotline received”. If possible, I would...
