Reforming the Law of Taxi and Private Hire Services

  • Reference: 2018/1359
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
In 2012, Transport for London (TfL) responded to the Law Commission Consultation on Reforming the Law of Taxi and Private Hire Services. Does TfL still hold the same position to their various responses, specifically proposal 16?

23 May Transport for London (TfL) Board Meeting

  • Reference: 2018/1358
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
During the 23 May Transport for London (TfL) Board Meeting which you chaired, the Chair of the Safety, Sustainability and Human Resources Panel informed the meeting that TfL Management had confirmed to him on 3 separate occasions that Internal Report IA 17 780 "Audit of First Group TOL's Fatigue Risk Management System" dated 15 September 2017 had been sent to the RAIB, SNC-Lavalin, the Office for Rail and Road (ORR), British Transport Police (BTP) and the Coroner, the first two organisations well in time for the findings to be considered in their final reports publisher, respectively, in December 2017 and...

Bus Safety Performance

  • Reference: 2018/1357
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Further to your response to Question 2018/1012, I am alarmed that it appears you are conflating Safe Bus Operations (which by law should be uniform and transparent across all Bus Operators) with commercial interests (which are obviously not). In the interest of assuring the public that Transport for London (TfL) is not running afoul of several provisions of the 2007 Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act in its oversight of its contracted Bus Operators' Safety Management Systems, please provide me with the sections of each of these TfL contract performance audits which specifically address Bus safety performance.

Who Runs Your Bus?

  • Reference: 2018/1356
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Can you explain why, in question 2018/1013, you stated Transport for London (TfL)could not publish the names and contact details of Bus Company Directors on TfL's "Who Runs your Bus?" Page because "TfL cannot publish contact details for managing directors and chief executive officers without their consent" while a simple search of each Operators' Company Registration Number you provided in Question 2018/1011 reveals that this information is already published on the Companies' House Website? That being the case, what excuse can you now provide for not publishing this information on TfL's website? Must I refer your untransparent behaviour on this...

Vision Zero

  • Reference: 2018/1355
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Further to your responses to questions 2018/1015 and 2018/1016, how can you claim to be following any precepts of Vision Zero if the only reason you provide for not including the only fatality involving a 3rd Party Vehicle during the Westminster Terrorist Attack in 2017's tally of Transport for London (TfL) Bus Collision Fatalities is because this Fatal Collision "was not entered into the Metropolitan Police's STATS19 Database." Setting aside the many questions which have been raised about the reliability of STATS19 data, wouldn't a truly "ambitious" Vision Zero Programme have a more definitive answer as to why a pedestrian...

Rapid Electric Charging Points

  • Reference: 2018/1354
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
To date, all of the 45 taxi-only rapid electric charge points in London have been installed on Transport for London land/highways or private land. Will the Mayor confirm how he is working with the London Boroughs to encourage them to install these much-need chargers on the streets they control?

Bank Experimental Safety Scheme

  • Reference: 2018/1353
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
The City of London Corporation recently published the findings of its public consultation on the Bank experimental safety scheme. A majority of the respondents either opposed the scheme outright or requested modifications to the measures, the most common of which requested was to re-permit taxi access at the junction. Given the importance of taxis as a form of accessible public transportation, will the Mayor now call on the City of London Corporation to respond to the public consultation and look again at allowing licensed taxis to use this vital thoroughfare in the City of London Corporation?

Gallows Corner

  • Reference: 2018/1352
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
When you came to visit Gallows Corner with me in July 2016 you stated that the "Status quo is not acceptable". What changes have been made in the nearly two years since your visit and when can my constituents expect to see improvements that would make Gallows Corner fit for purpose?

Beam Park

  • Reference: 2018/1349
  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Is your calling in of the Beam Park application another battle in your "war" on the suburbs?

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
