Advice to EU Citizens if the UK leaves the EU on the 31 January (2)

  • Reference: 2020/0327
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2020
A number of EU Londoners will be concerned that if they leave the UK before applying for either settled status or pre-settled status, they may not be allowed to re-enter the UK. This is not the case, but it is a concern that many EU Londoners are reported to have. How are you working to make sure EU Londoners feel confident to travel outside of the UK after January 2020 without concern that this may impact their ability to apply for settled status?

  • Meeting date: 16 January 2020
TfL’s Vision Zero Action plan sets clear targets to reduce the number of those injured or killed in or on a bus by 2030.

Following the Croydon tram crash in 2016, the Light Rail Safety Standards Board (LRSSB), a UK wide regulatory body, was established in order to set new guidance and safety regulation specific to the tram industry. What steps will the Mayor take to ensure that TFL and any London tram operations play an integral role in the development of such guidance?

  • Reference: 2020/0320
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2020
The opening date for the central section of the Crossrail route has changed four times since the project began. The latest estimate is that it will open “as soon as practically possible in 2021.” When will you be able to provide a definitive opening date, and what will you do to help ensure this date does not slip?

Vitality of High Streets

  • Reference: 2020/0319
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2020
Following my oral question on this topic at the last Mayor’s Question Time meeting, the latest figures show the worst retail sales in 23 years – with sales down by 0.6% according to national statistics. Is it not time to accept that the measures to stop the decimation of high streets nationally and in London are not working and are unlikely to work? Don’t you agree that an exhaustive examination is required to ‘reinvent’ high streets so that they are fit for purpose?

Hate Crime / Antisemitism (1)

  • Reference: 2020/0317
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2020
New York Police Department commissioner Dermot Shea has said hate crime incidents in New York City are up 22% this year. In the aftermath of anti-Semitic mass stabbings in New York State the Mayor of New York has said additional officers would be deployed in the affected districts. London has witnessed anti-Semitic graffiti on premises in Hampstead and Belsize Park. Considering this, together with rise in hate crime, what steps have you taken to reassure communities and protect synagogues and places of worships?
