Expansion of the Breathe London network

  • Reference: 2020/3300
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
On 22 September 2020 you announced an expansion of the Breathe London network with 30 new sensors to monitor air pollution at 18 schools where school streets have now been introduced. Given the current interest in the impact of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and pop-up bike lanes on air pollution, will you also install Breathe London monitors to show any changes in local pollution from these schemes?

Reducing ozone pollution in London (2)

  • Reference: 2020/3299
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Thank you for your answer to my question 2020/2607. What is your estimate for the number of premature deaths in Greater London during the air pollution episodes that occurred during August and September this year that were attributable to short-term exposure to (a) ozone and (b) particulate (PM2.5 and PM10)?

Solar potential on the Transport for London estate (2)

  • Reference: 2020/3298
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Thank you for your answer to my question 2020/1003 on the solar potential of the Transport for London (TfL) estate. I understand from the list of paused projects in the TfL Board meeting of 29 July 2020 that the original plans for solar roof installation are “paused in favour of development of larger strategic solar installations to be funded using third party investment.” Could you explain the current plans for solar installations on the TfL estate, from where you will find third party investment and confirm when you will publish a report on the solar potential of the TfL estate?

Use of renewables by Transport for London (2)

  • Reference: 2020/3297
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Thank you for your answer to my question 2019/19662 on the use of renewable energy by Transport for London (TfL). On 30 September 2020, the TfL Finance Committee discussed risks relating to Power Purchase Agreements. It was highlighted that accounting assessments will limit the renewable energy it is possible to purchase. What steps are you taking, given that TfL is the single largest user of electricity in London, to ensure that accounting rules don’t stand in the way of a rapid transition to zero carbon energy?

GLA loan to London Power

  • Reference: 2020/3296
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
MD2645 refers to a loan of £1.1 million from the GLA to London Power Co. Limited. Why was this sum required as a loan and not included in the original budget?

London Power financial risks

  • Reference: 2020/3295
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Following the collapse of Robin Hood energy in Nottingham and subsequent issues with Angelic Energy in Islington, are you conducting any new business, financial viability or risk assessments on London Power? If so, when will they be published?

Mayoral Decision Publication Date Transparency

  • Reference: 2020/3292
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
In answer to MQ/2020/0396 in February you said that you would explore the possibility that when Mayoral Decisions are published they are not simply back dated to the date that the decision was made, but that the date of publication is also made clear. Can you please provide an update on work relating to this?

Support for the Poetry Project

  • Reference: 2020/3291
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
The Poetry Project has previously worked with the London Underground ( https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/meet-man-behind-tube-poetry-… ) and in cities across the world to spread messages of hope and positivity. Will you join me in supporting the excellent work of the Poetry Project, and commit to considering where else, you as Mayor, may be able to work with the project to spread positive messages to Londoners in such difficult times?

GLA Funded Properties with Dangerous Cladding

  • Reference: 2020/3290
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Please provide a list of buildings funded or part-funded by the GLA over the last 10 years that have subsequently been identified as having dangerous cladding, and outline what steps you are taking to i) support leaseholders in these properties to ensure they face no financial burden, and ii) ensure the dangerous cladding on these properties is replaced swiftly.

Fire Safety and London’s Housing Associations (2)

  • Reference: 2020/3289
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 15 October 2020
Have you considered any further support you could give as Mayor to housing associations in London that still have buildings with flammable and dangerous cladding? With Government support being too slow and inconsistent, please outline further measures you are looking to take to support these housing associations in not only getting swift and sufficient fire safety assessments, but also ensuring they can carry out swift remedial works without any cost to the leaseholders?
