Electricity Supply to New Developments in the Royal Docks and Housing Developments Across London

  • Reference: 2020/2602
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
In Mayoral Decision 2655 you recently approved the use of up to £25.218 million to reinforce the electricity supply to the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone, which will include housing. What work is being done with developers and others to ensure new housing built in the Royal Docks area and across London is fitted with green technology such as solar panels, heat pumps, so that many of these homes can produce their own green energy and often supply electricity back to the National Grid?

  • Reference: 2020/2599
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
Local authorities and police in Paris have recently introduced sound detectors across many parts of the City which detect unacceptable levels of noise from road traffic and are able to detect their origin, which then leads to fines for those who cause excessive disturbance. Have you given any such consideration to the benefits of similar technology in London? If not is this something you would consider looking into?

I have received complaints from frustrated constituents across the capital over significant noise pollution from speeding vehicles, particularly motorbikes. I am aware of the Sounder City strategy for tackling ambient noise, but how are you working with Boroughs, the Met and others to strengthen action against speeding vehicles and the noise they cause, given the increased levels of disruption being experienced by many across the city?
