Due to the Government’s lack of support for young Londoners who have to miss education due to long-term illness or who are shielding from COVID, was the Mayor aware that charities such as Bright Futures UK have had to step in to ensure children are receiving the educational and well-being support they need? And can the Mayor offer his support to these organisations and ensure that our Government is giving them and local authorities the funding they need to deal with this important issue?

The Government does not record the data on the number of children and young people who are out of education due to long term medical conditions (aged 5-18). Will you write to the Secretaries of State for Health and Education to ask for this data for London?

Concerns have been raised with me about road safety around Hackney New Primary School in my constituency. I understand that the signage on Kingsland Road (cornered Downham Road) is very unclear and does not alert drivers to the fact there is a local primary school and will be children crossing. Can you assure me TfL will be amending this?

This analysis includes a range of characteristics, including differences in attainment and progress by ethnicity, free school meal eligibility and special educational need status”. What has your monitoring and analysis of this data revealed about the effect of COVID-19 school closures...

The bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond Road has been replaced and the new one does not have Countdown. Now that buses to Highbury Corner are 15 minutes apart it is all the more necessary to know if you have just missed one! Could the Mayor confirm when a Countdown will be installed?

The recent cladding and fire safety scandal has further exposed the serious flaws in the leasehold model of home ownership. I believe a commonhold model could prevent many of the issues currently being faced by leaseholders in London and has been adopted across many European countries in recent years. What consideration have you given to a commonhold development policy requirement for residential developments in London, particularly those that require your direct approval and/or funding?
