On 2 May 2019, the High Court granted a new inquest into the death of Ella Kissi-Debrah to allow a better understanding of the role that air pollution played in her death. Since you wrote to the London Assembly Oversight Committee on 17 October 2018 regarding air quality risks for the GLA and London, have you updated your assessments and identified the public bodies that are potentially at the greatest financial and legal risk if the inquest determines that air pollution was the cause of death?

The union Unite has recently made a strong case that Crossrail’s failure to agree an industrial relations framework with unions was exceptional for a major project and part of the cause of issues seen. Will you ensure all future major projects have such a framework?

A haulage driver has been in touch to ask about action to address driver fatigue in London. The Transport for London (TfL) Freight and Servicing Action Plan proposes a review with boroughs of lay-over resting points in 2019. Are you also going to solicit views from drivers and unions as part of this process? What output are you expecting from TfL from this work and how will it be communicated?

Papers at the Transport for London (TfL) Board on 27 March 2019 on the TfL Scorecard 2019/20 (Appendix 2: Scorecard development work undertaken during 2018/19) show that TfL has abandoned work on an active travel metric to study the effect of investments on an intervention area. Could you please outline TfL’s reasoning in more detail as to why such surveys would not work, and explain how you are assessing existing investments?

Will Transport for London (TfL) investigate the potential use of Hammersmith Bridge as a crossing for buses, cycling and walking only, and would this reduce the cost of repair?

The closure of Hammersmith Bridge at short notice due to structural concerns is disrupting bus services and other traffic. However, the bridge is open to cycle and foot traffic, and your Transport Strategy aims for more short journeys to be made by these modes. Is Transport for London (TfL) supporting walking and cycle as alternative modes for journeys in this area, and is it learning from the closure by studying changes in traffic, pollution, and travel choices and behaviour?

The recently published Transport for London (TfL) Temporary Traffic Management Handbook states on page 125: “Research shows that pedestrians are less likely to wait for the green man after 30 seconds, so shorter cycle times are preferable.” However, no maximum wait time for pedestrians is given. It appears that there is no clear and direct advice in either this document or other design documentation on pedestrian wait and signal timing. Will future updates to the Temporary Traffic Management Handbook, other signals guidance and design manuals ensure that clear guidance is given on pedestrian wait times?
