Road safety

  • Reference: 2020/1965
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
What is the best advice for how long someone should drive in London or from London to another city, without taking a break for road safety reasons?

A1 Sliproad, Fiveways Corner [2]

  • Reference: 2020/1964
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
Residents living nearby have expressed concern at the level of speeding that takes place on this 50mph road. This is dangerous given the number of schools in the area, and because it is so close to residential streets. Will you lower the speed limit on this road to 40mph to improve safety?

A1 Sliproad, Fiveways Corner [1]

  • Reference: 2020/1963
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
TfL recently undertook, via their contractors Conway, a resurfacing of the A1 Great North Way sliproad at Fiveways Corner in NW4 on the night of 26th May 2020. Regrettably, only around half the slipway was resurfaced, despite the whole section being of equally poor quality. Residents have ascertained that Conway will not be returning to complete the rest of the slipway. Why has only half the slipway been resurfaced, and will you now instruct Conway to resurface the rest of the slipway?

Speeding: A1 Falloden Way

  • Reference: 2020/1962
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
Given the upsurge in speeding, will you ask the police to mount an anti speeding operation here; and what progress is being made with speed reduction measures discussions with Barnet Council?

Lockdown: speeding

  • Reference: 2020/1961
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
How many speeding offences have been and are being prosecuted by the Met since the start of the lockdown; how many speeding offences have been disposed of by means other than prosecution and how does this compare with the same period last year?

Lockdown: enforcement

  • Reference: 2020/1960
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
The National Police Chiefs’ Council and Association of Police and Crime Commissioners are reported to have told ministers that most lockdown issues are now a ‘personal and moral responsibility’ rather than a policing issue, and the government had accepted that police had ‘retreated’ to engaging, explaining and encouraging rather than enforcing the lockdown. Do you consider this approach to be appropriate?

s60 [2]

  • Reference: 2020/1959
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
How many s60 directions have been given affecting a) Camden and b) Barnet in each of the last 3 months; in each case, what was the rank of the officer authorising them; and for the equivalent period last year, how many s60 directions were there in each borough?

s60 [1]

  • Reference: 2020/1958
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
There appear to have been a growing number of s60 directions issued in Camden, including a number authorised by an acting inspector, i.e. a substantive sergeant. Do you consider it is appropriate for a relatively junior officer to make s60 directions affecting all or a large part of a borough?

Anti-riot vehicles [4]

  • Reference: 2020/1957
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
The Met Police’s replacement of their heavy anti-riot vehicles project: how many companies have been invited to tender; how many have tendered; and in each case, how many are UK, how many EU, and how many from elsewhere in the world?

Anti-riot vehicles [3]

  • Reference: 2020/1956
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
The Met Police’s replacement of their heavy anti-riot vehicles project: is it intended for the contract for these vehicles to be let to a UK manufacturer?
