  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 February 2025

The recent update from Transport for London (TfL) on preparation for opening the Silvertown Tunnel includes information for Londoners who drive to prepare for paying tolls and registering for driving discounts. There is no similar information for people hoping to use the new zero-emission cycle-shuttle service. When will the final designs be confirmed and information shared about how to use the cycle-shuttle service, so people hoping to cross the river by bike can start to plan their journeys?

Thank you for your answer to my question 2025/0276, in which you said: “Transport for London (TfL) will publish further details on the cycle shuttle service shortly.” Will these details include responding to concerns from potential users that: a) the Greenwich peninsula bus stop is on a dual carriageway described as being ‘extremely hostile’, b) that on the north side of the Thames cyclists will only be able to get off at a bus stop near Royal Victoria DLR station, and c) the cycle shuttle-bus will accommodate cargo and adapted bicycles?

Gaps in support for victims of hit and run

  • Reference: 2025/0786
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 February 2025
Thank you for your answer to my oral question 2022/3899, in which you said: “let me take away what we can do in relation to additional support for hit and run. For the reasons you suggest, by inference they are a crime, and also they may not be serious in relation to a league table of crime, but they are serious to the families.” Could you tell me what additional support you have implemented specifically to support the victims of hit and run incidents, since we spoke about this in November 2022?

Transport for London (TfL) and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) have a target to increase their capacity to enforce up to one million speeding offences by 2024/25, through a combination of on‑street police enforcement and safety cameras. Are they on track to meet this target, and if not, how far off are they, what will be the new target and what further actions will you take to reduce the danger from speeding on London’s roads?

  • Meeting date: 25 February 2025
Thank you for your answer to my question 2024/3970, in which you said: “I am aware of the significant impact gambling addiction can have on the lives of individuals and their families. [...] This evidence base is necessary for Transport for London (TfL) to be able to further develop its policy and carry out engagement with a range of stakeholders ahead of any final decisions on restrictions being implemented.” I am aware that TfL is working with the GLA Health team to respond to the London Assembly Health Committee’s recommendations on gambling harms and will publish it soon.
