In your follow-up letter to my question 2023/3947 you said: “It has been 10 years since the Special Services Agreement (SSA) establishment was agreed between Transport for London (TfL) and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). A full review of the Road and Transport Policing Command (RTPC) is underway, which will result in an updated SSA. The review will consider the right RTPC establishment and operating model based on demand and affordability, and ensuring it is fit for the future.” Could you share the findings of the review, what actions have been taken as a result and any other outcomes?

A constituent has raised concerns about the lack of response from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to their video reports to its MO10 Allegations Department. In 2024 they made 145 submissions but did not hear back on 85 of them. The majority of video reports that did not receive a response were for close passing, six were for ignoring no entry signs or red traffic lights, two for using a mobile phone, and two for inconsiderate driving. They go on to say that certain months appeared to be particularly poor, eg in March only one of 19 submissions was responded...

The London Growth Plan published on 27 February 2025, says: “Frontier innovation thrives in walkable districts”. Walking and wheeling are the most affordable forms of transport, support increased expenditure in retail and create livelier town centres. Despite this, the London Growth Plan contains no proposals for growing active travel. Could you explain this oversight?

Tesla appears to be shielding drivers who lease its cars from prosecution for driving offences, according to a report in the Evening Standard in a 6 January 2025 article, ‘Elon Musk's Tesla convicted repeatedly for failing to cooperate with UK police’. The article describes: “Another driver was caught speeding in west London near to a primary school but was also spared punishment.” What action are you taking to ensure that people leasing vehicles from Tesla are not insulated from the consequences of their behaviour behind the wheel in London?

A constituent has told me that vehicle leasing companies do not reliably pass on letters relating to Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to their leasees, instead paying the fine and charging it to the lessee with an additional fee. This means drivers are receiving communications on driving offences through an intermediary and may not pick up detailed messaging about safer driving. Is Transport for London (TfL) aware of this issue and, if so, what consideration is given to the way in which PCN letters are received by Londoners who drive a leased vehicle?

A constituent has raised concerns about super bright, fully animated window displays now seen in many betting shops in London and their contribution to road danger. The advertising industry has voluntary standards for on-street advertising which limit animation to avoid causing safety issues for road users. It appears the gambling industry is not taking the same safety-first approach in its window displays. Are you concerned that these animated adverts may lead to distracted driving and have you considered taking any action?

Could you tell me whether any analysis is made of the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) ratings on adverts on the Transport for London (TfL) estate, to ensure that any statistics featured refer to the safety of all road users, particularly people walking and cycling, rather than just ratings referring to the safety of vehicle occupants?

At the London Assembly Plenary meeting on 13 February 2025 on Fire and Rescue Services in London, the London Fire Commissioner said: “we are talking about basics here, which is enough toilets for women, because until 2021 we did not even give the women we employed enough toilets or changing space." Could you tell: a) how many toilets are provided in each fire station broken down by gender, b) how many stations have insufficient toilet and changing facilities for women firefighters, and c) when do you expect any shortfall toilet provision across the London Fire Brigade (LFB) estate to be...
