Meals on Wheels

  • Reference: 2018/2306
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
A 2017 report by the charity Sustain, titled Beyond the Food bank, found that 15 out of London's 33 boroughs were not providing any form of Meals on Wheels services to its residents. What steps is your administration taking to work with local authorities to ensure that: a) There are no further reductions to Meals on Wheels provision in London b) Boroughs without Meals on Wheels services are actively exploring examples of effective meals on wheels models, including social enterprises and joint purchasing approaches models, which address a wide range of needs and council objectives.

Londoners in debt

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Further to MQ 2017/2577, you stated that you would be reporting on London level data more fully in the next year (2018), to cover those seeking debt advice, those feeling the burden of debt and those in arrears on household bills. When will this be publicly available?

LLW in outer London

  • Reference: 2018/2304
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Trust for London have found that jobs in outer London are less likely to pay the London Living Wage than inner London. What conversations have you had with local authorities, particularly in outer London, to increase the number of jobs that pay the London Living Wage?

223 Bus (2)

  • Reference: 2018/2302
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
TfL has said the consultation had been advertised to more than 185,000 bus users through emails, signs on bus stops and discussion with user groups. How many people responded to the consultation that took place between July 3 and September 17 last year?

223 Bus (1)

  • Reference: 2018/2301
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Several residents are unhappy that the 223 bus is set to stop going to Harrow after TfL's consultation. Furthermore, there are concerns that TfL's consultation on the changes was not publicised adequately to those who actually use it. Campaigners say the bus route is a "lifeline" for the elderly. I am concerned it's going to make life difficult for my residents, especially those with mobility difficulties. Will you reconsider your decision on this?

Rough Sleeping

  • Reference: 2018/2300
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
The Communities Secretary has confirmed that there is NO new money for the £100m Rough Sleeping Strategy announced by Government to deal with rough sleeping. Does this have any impact on your funding and plans to tackle rough sleeping in London?

Islamophobia - Hate Crime

  • Reference: 2018/2299
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Whilst the former Mayor Boris Johnson has been quite rightly condemned for what many people view as his Islamophobic comments over Muslim women and burkha what actions are you taking to stop hate crime and take action against perpetrators of hate crime and division when tensions are already high in the country and London?

Uber

  • Reference: 2018/2298
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
The Chair of the United Private Hire Drivers branch of the International Workers of Great Britain union wrote to you in early August 2018 pointing out the New York City Council's decision to 'finally protect Uber drivers from exploitation and to curb congestion in a way that is fair to all stakeholders' and to criticise your stance, claiming that 'TfL promotes a dangerous and destructive cheap-minicabs policy'. What is your response to the four key goals put forward in the union's letter?

Removal/dismantling of the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst at Victoria Tower gardens

  • Reference: 2018/2297
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
There is a proposal to move Emmeline Pankhurst's statue from its current location in Victoria Tower Gardens to the private Regent's University in London. This statue was erected in the Gardens by subscription from former suffragettes in 1930, and when moved to its present site, a promise was made by the Ministry of Works that it would not be moved again. I am very concerned about this planning application. Will you publicly condemn this?

British Sign Language Charter

  • Reference: 2018/2296
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
Further to your answer of Question 2018/1676, are you able to give me a date as to when you will sign this important commitment. You mentioned that Greater London Authority Officers look forward to continued engagement with the British Deaf Association and London's deaf communities over the coming months. Can you give me a detailed update on what has happened so far?
