Restaurant tips

  • Reference: 2018/1171
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
TGI Friday's has faced the first strike over tips in the UK in an escalation of a row between waiters and the restaurant chain. Do you think it is wrong for restaurants in London not to distribute tips in full to staff; and do you agree that tips should not be used to subsidise low pay?

Unreliable 13 bus

  • Reference: 2018/1170
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
I continue to get correspondence from residents about their latest bad experiences with the unreliable 13 bus, despite assurances from TfL that they are dealing with it. It is now over a year since the current operator took over the route, and this operator seems to be incapable of providing an efficient and reliable service. Will you look into this and get this service sorted out once and for all?

CS11 and local major developments

  • Reference: 2018/1169
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
I have been receiving a lot of correspondence about the proposed CS11 and its likely impact on the local community, given major construction developments in the area. Where do you consider the construction traffic flows will go; and will you give a progress report on the CS11 scheme?

River safety

  • Reference: 2018/1168
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
Whilst the London Resilience Forum deals with the immediate operation and response to river incident high risks, do you agree that boroughs need to engage in day to day proactive river safety such as river side and bank design specifically linked to preventing self-harm; public rescue equipment; and access and egress to the foreshore, through their local risks assessments and managed via their Community Safety Partnerships?

Private hire drivers: suspensions and revocations of licences.

  • Reference: 2018/1167
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
An issue that is causing a great deal of concern to private hire drivers, is the way TfL is imposing suspensions and revocations of licences with no respect for natural justice and no hearing or right to submit a written response to an allegation. To have a suspension lifted or revocation overturned, drivers have to pay a court fee of £250.00 for the privilege. Do you consider it is acceptable for TfL to suspend drivers' licences before any investigation takes place, leaving them without a salary and only having any subsequent appeal heard in a Magistrates Court; and if not...

Northern Line noise (3)

  • Reference: 2018/1166
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
Track corrugation in Northern Line tunnels is getting worse due to automated train operation causing braking at exactly the same points near stations, increasing noise nuisance. What will you do about it?

Northern Line noise (2)

  • Reference: 2018/1165
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
It is becoming apparent that the installation of noise damping pads on Northern Line track is not working. Homes near Mornington Crescent, for example, have seen noise levels increase to even more unacceptable levels. What will you do about it?

Northern Line noise (1)

  • Reference: 2018/1164
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
I am getting increasing numbers of complaints from residents about noise from the Northern Line due to the relaid track and wear on the rails caused by automation. TfL are taking far too long to respond to these complaints, and even worse are telling residents that there is nothing that can be done and in effect the residents have to put up with it. Do you think this is fair; and if not will you get a grip on this problem and sort it out?

Immigration Status (3)

  • Reference: 2018/1161
  • Question by: Unmesh Desai
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
In the past financial year, how many victims of crime were referred to the Home Office due to concerns over their immigration status (if possible, please provide a list of the crimes committed against the victims)?

Immigration Status (2)

  • Reference: 2018/1160
  • Question by: Unmesh Desai
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
What is the current policy of the MPS with regards to referring victims of crime to the Home Office over instances in which the police have concerns over a person's immigration status?
