Diesel use in demand responsive buses

  • Reference: 2019/6083
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
It is proposed to use diesel buses for the demand responsive bus trial in Sutton. Given that these are minibus vehicles, why hasn’t Transport for London (TfL) been able to specify electric buses? What would be the expected lifetime of these buses under current TfL policies?

Silvertown Private Finance

  • Reference: 2019/6082
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
In 2018 HM Treasury announced it would no longer use Private Finance 2 (PF2), the current model of the Private Finance Initiative. HM Treasury has now told the Public Accounts Committee that it expects to provide clear data on the standing of Private Finance by Summer 2019. The Silvertown Tunnel is still set to be financed using a PF2-derived mechanism. Does it make sense to continue with this road tunnel even when the funding mechanism isn’t currently supported by HM Treasury?

Independent Investment Programme Advisory Group findings on sub-programmes and projects

  • Reference: 2019/6081
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
The Independent Investment Programme Advisory Group (IIPAG) report to the 6 March 2019 meeting of the Transport for London (TfL) Programmes and Investment Committee, stated at 4.2: “IIPAG has frequently found it difficult to get a clear view of the history of a programme’s or project’s EFC [Estimated Final Cost], why it has changed, how the EFC compares with relevant budgets, and especially in the case of sub-programmes, how expenditure is tracking against delivery.” An EFC is a crucial measure of investment and progress. Will you ensure that suitable information is provided to “decision makers and assurers for sub-programmes and...

Airspace and Future Operations Consultation (2)

  • Reference: 2019/6072
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Using Hampstead and Highgate as an example do you believe it was remiss that the consultation did not provide details on current flight paths, altitude and noise levels in decibels which meant it was impossible to compare with future alternatives? Do you agree that this does not meet the CAA’s earlier consultation requirement that “a clear statement of the current situation is given” as set out in CAA’s proposals for a revised airspace change process in 2016?

Airspace and Future Operations Consultation (1)

  • Reference: 2019/6071
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Do you agree that the recent Heathrow consultation was too complex for most residents to be able to understand and respond to and that deciding which flight path envelope to choose was almost impossible given the data provided in the consultation. Also at no point when responding to the consultation was it possible to register overall conclusions or to make simple points due to the constraints of the format. Is this acceptable and do you agree that this does not meet the CAA’s consultation requirement “stakeholders reading the consultation – including those with no technical expertise– can understand the potential...
