  • Reference: 2020/3791
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
I have been contacted by a constituent who wishes to know whether TfL has any plans for a public information campaign to remind drivers to take extra care as many school age Londoners might be cycling or walking to school for the first time, especially due to the rapid roll-out of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and School Streets?

I have been contacted by a constituent who would like to know what steps TfL takes to address the issue that every year when the clocks change there is a spike in the number of collisions on our streets. Has TfL considered a specific safety campaign aimed at drivers to ensure they take extra care during this period?

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

In 2017 TfL consulted with residents on a proposed protected cycle route for part of Tooting Bec Road. What plans do you have to bring forward these prepared plans into actual change on the ground?

Vision Zero target

  • Reference: 2020/3788
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
The latest reported road casualty statistics for 2019 released by Transport for London showed an increase in the number of people killed on London’s roads from 111 in 2018 to 125 in 2019. What assurances can you give Londoners that the interim Vision Zero target will be met or exceeded by 2022, of 65 per cent fewer people killed or seriously injured against the average for 2005-09?

Pedestrian fatalities

  • Reference: 2020/3787
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
In your reply to Question 2020/3264 you highlighted the Streetspace programme alongside borough-led initiatives such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods as initiatives being taken to reduce pedestrian fatalities. However, these initiatives are largely confined to residential areas and do not address the issue that three quarters of fatal and serious pedestrian casualties occur on main roads. What steps are you taking to reduce fatal and serious pedestrian casualties on these roads, including measures to ensure greater speed enforcement?

Education inequalities

  • Reference: 2020/3860
  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
Research published in October by the LSE gives evidence that disadvantaged students have fallen behind their more privileged peers. The biggest fear is that pupils will suffer permanent ‘educational scarring’ with a clear distinction between the highest and lowest income backgrounds. What work are you doing to help ensure children from lower income households are not left behind?

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
One of the proposals in the government’s Planning for the Future Whitepaper is to introduce a new infrastructure levy and abolish S106 and CIL as we know it. What impact do you think this would have on the delivery of affordable housing and other social infrastructure in London?
