  • Reference: 2020/2443
  • Question by: Andrew Boff

Further to your response to question 2020/1685, given that the GLA website only shows site and bedroom breakdowns for the latest quarter and not the whole financial year, could you therefore please provide a complete figure for the number of bedrooms for all GLA-funded affordable starts and completions in financial year 2019/20?

Residential Tube Noise

  • Reference: 2020/2436
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
Residents on the Kingsbury Curve are still suffering from extreme tube noise. Constituents inform me that the noise level exceeds 82 decibels. Your answer to my previous question (2019/21001) on this issue stated ‘TfL will shortly begin work to reduce the cant (the height difference between the two rails), which it anticipates will reduce noise levels. TfL will be writing to local residents who have been impacted by noise issues this month, to keep them updated on this work.’ Did this take place and why have residents seen no change?

Tree Felling on Tube Lines

Use of Tasers Against BAME communities

  • Reference: 2020/2433
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
The IOPC have recently called for greater scrutiny on use of Tasers following a series of incidents and increasing BAME community concerns. Do you agree whether there is need to investigate and support the strong concern about the increased use of Tasers against members of the black and minority ethnic communities?

Digital Connectivity Across London

  • Reference: 2020/2432
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
The pandemic crisis has highlighted potential for remote working. In order to make this a seriously viable alternative London requires digital connectivity comparable to many other European cities. As highlighted in the London Assembly’s report (published by the Regeneration Committee) London’s economic productivity and international competitiveness face a significant threat in the form of poor digital connectivity. The capital is poorly served, suffering from ‘not-spots’, ‘digital deserts’ and a lack of fibre connections. What urgent and effective steps can you take to upgrade digital connectivity to enable home/remote working?
