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?

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?

Will you consider making it a grant condition of receiving Approved Provider and Strategic Partner status during the 2021-26 Affordable Housing Programme that associations should follow the National Housing Federation’s recommendation of only selling social rent voids at Existing Use Value Social Housing to councils or other providers, to retain social rent stock; reduce homelessness, and boroughs’ cost for temporary accommodation?
