The Commissioner’s Report to Transport for London (TfL) dated 9 December says that: “all remaining snagging and defect works were completed at the end of October 2020,” at Highbury Corner. Local residents, and people passing through on foot and by bike, have raised the need for local wayfinding signage to connect to destinations and other nearby routes, such as the new Liverpool Road pop-up bike lane. Will you provide local wayfinding signage at this and other major junction schemes?

The bike lane on Kensington High Street delivered under your Streetspace programme provided a much-needed safe cycle link in West London but is now planned for removal by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). You have said that the: “council must rethink the decision to scrap it.” Will you use your powers to take control of the road and provide safe space for cycling?

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has reminded delivery and collection sites of their duty to provide rest and welfare facilities, including toilets and handwashing, to delivery drivers ( https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/drivers-transport-delivery.htm). Will you support delivery riders using bikes, cargo bikes and powered two wheelers to access rest and welfare facilities across London?

I understand that a small number of borough schemes funded under your Streetspace programme have been removed. Could you confirm which schemes have been, or are being, removed, and how you are engaging with boroughs to either reclaim the money allocated or get it used to provide alternative schemes to enable safe walking and cycling?

The Kensington High Street bike lane was first proposed in 2008. Councillors in Kensington and Chelsea have repeatedly said that they consider the views of their residents more important than those of people who walk and cycle through their borough. Could you provide an analysis, since 2008, of the numbers of serious and fatal collisions involving people walking and cycling in Kensington and Chelsea, and their borough of residence?

The Transport for London (TfL) cycleways web page states that: “development of future cycleways has been paused while you work on Streetspace for London.” With a temporary funding deal now agreed with Government, can this programme resume?

Thank you for your answer to my question 2020/2628. You supplied a general statement on the impacts of coronavirus on staff travel which did not contain the same level of detail as your answer to my similar question 2020/2629 about London Fire Brigade (LFB). Could you confirm whether Transport for London (TfL) has an employee travel plan, and whether surveys are conducted into the modes of transport used by staff to commute to work? If so, could you provide details of this plan, including any targets and measures taken to reduce car commuting, alongside any data held on employee commuting...

The November 2020 National Audit Office (NAO) report, Managing Flood Risk, shows that London received the lowest amount of partnership funding for flood defences of any region in England between 2015-16 and 2020-21. In this period, London achieved only £11 million in partnership funding compared with £112 million in the East of England. What actions are you taking to ensure that all possible investment is secured to protect London from flooding?

You will be aware that many leaseholders in Haringey’s Noel Park have recently received Section 20 Notices requiring them to pay extortionate bills, often exceeding £100,000, for replacing pod bathrooms. Leaseholders do not object to the works, but the sums they are being asked to pay are significantly higher than those the Council had quoted them previously. Additionally, Haringey Council’s proposed repayment plan would see some leaseholders paying over £3,000 a month in repayments. Will you raise this directly with Haringey Council and speak to those affected to try and find an urgent resolution for residents?
