As Londoners begin to return to work, and as middle door boarding on buses has now ended, can you provide assurances that bus drivers will be safe whilst at work?

I am pleased to see that Londoners are being encouraged to travel by walking or cycling. However, for people in outer London who need to get into the centre, walking and cycling is not always an option. I have seen news reports of key workers in Brent piling onto packed buses in order to get to work, often disregarding social distancing. Has provision been made for extra bus services in particularly oversubscribed areas in outer London where bus travel is often the best option?

A constituent has contacted me regarding access to parks and green spaces for those shielding. They are concerned that those who need to shield could suffer from physical and mental health issues. They ask whether the Mayor has provided any advice to local councils or other bodies in charge of green spaces, on whether it is feasible to introduce hours in parks restricted only to those who are shielding. Has this been considered?

There is no reference to any timeframe about how long the suspension of free under 18 travel is? When will the suspension end and who will determine this? Grant Shapps MP’s written statement refers to special arrangements for free travel to schools. Can I have details please as to how this will work?

Won’t suspension of peak time concessions disproportionally impact old Londoners? How does suspension of the facility make sense when older people need access to public transport for essential journeys as aptly described in the letter sent to you and Grant Shapps MP co-signed by Age UK and other accessibility groups? I understand the suspension is for 4 - 6 weeks. Are you able to specify when exactly the suspension will be lifted and who will determine this? What is guarantee that attack on Over 60’s Freedom Pass is not thin end of the wedge?

How confident you are that the suspension of concessionary travel facilities is ‘temporary’?

I have been contacted by disabled constituents regarding the Streetspace plan. They acknowledge the positive reasons why this has been put in place, but point out that road closures make it incredibly difficult to travel as they rely on their cars. In particular, one constituent points out that it is now difficult to reach the hospital they attend regularly. Can you provide assurances that TfL’s plans are inclusive and that decisions are made with disabled people in mind?

How many people are eligible for Statutory Sick Pay only, in London? If you do not know this, given how important it will be for considering the effects of NHS Trace instructions to isolate, will you ask GLA Economics to research it?
