F1 Event

  • Reference: 2019/0397
  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
It was recently reported that there are plans for an F1 motoring event to take place in London and the Mayor has given support for it. Given all the restrictions and penalties about to be imposed on diesel car owners, and the valid concerns regarding air quality, why is the Mayor supporting such an event in the London area?

  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
What progress have TfL made in installing additional safety measures at the zebra crossing on the south circular opposite Lancaster Avenue/Thurlow Park Road? A number of my constituents have had near misses as drivers repeatedly overtake on the crossing, after a walkabout last year TfL informed me that additional changes were due to be made at the junction so I would like an update.

The DfT have published the findings from the market sounding on the Western Rail Link to Heathrow which explored third party investment and contracting participation.

Do you support the rail link and the Government’s approach to delivering it?

  • Reference: 2019/0394
  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
You are postponing several capital projects as they are not possible without capital funding from the Government. You say you have no certainty of capital funding beyond 2020. Why has the Government not given us this certainty? Why are they waiting until the last minute to decide?

  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
Figure 1 in the Business Plan shows the route to 80% of trips being made by foot, cycle or public transport by 2041. In 2041 the forecast is for such trips to be between 75% and 80% of trips, yet you assume you will hit 80% rather than 75% or somewhere in between. What led you to make that decision?
