I have received reports from across London of increases in bonfires in recent weeks and months. This will, in part be due to it being the summer, but also because of lockdown and Covid-19. How are you working with local authorities across London to reduce bonfires, particularly in residential areas and during the day, to reduce disturbance for residents but also to protect our environment and air quality?

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?

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?

Reports show that 25% of Londoners have either fallen behind with their rent or are about to fall behind. Given that the Government’s eviction ban is due to end on 20 September, with only limited protections for renters thereafter, what are you doing to raise this issue with the Government as a matter of urgency and what work are you doing to support Londoners at risk of losing their homes?
