  • Question by: Tony Devenish

Given the unprecedented numbers of complaints from Pimlico residents, will you keep your promise to bring forward planned track replacement from 2020 and sort out tube noise problems once and for all?

Soho Blackouts

  • Reference: 2018/1074
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
Over the recent past, Soho has suffered a series of blackouts affecting theatres, bars, restaurants and long-suffering residents. In spite of concerns being raised with UK Power Networks, the problems continue and no compensation is offered for loss of profit to businesses or to the residents concerned. What practical steps will the Mayor now take to work with others and ensure that full and adequate provision of electricity is provided on a reliable basis for Soho and the West End, so that we can avoid the repeated international ignominy caused by lengthy power cuts in the heart of our "World...

Housing research

  • Reference: 2018/1073
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
What lessons has the Mayor picked up from the Guardian (25 April) "top 10 books about council housing"? Does he agree with the proverb, the best predictor of future performance is past performance?

Pre-Election Period

  • Reference: 2018/1072
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
Can the Mayor and the GLA review how the pre-election period has been interpreted by officers? Each election there seems to be a more proscriptive version than before, effectively shutting down a taxpayer funded organisation for nearly two months. The media are (in my view) right to be outraged that both a violent crime summit and a Police and Crime Committee briefing were held in private.

School exclusions

  • Reference: 2018/1070
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
How can you prioritise work to support the 925 secondary school students permanently excluded from school in London, especially the 345 caused by violent behaviour, to avoid many of them becoming career criminals?

Victims of fraud

  • Reference: 2018/1069
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
What specifically are you doing to help prevent vulnerable Londoners from becoming victims of fraud?

Belgravia Police Station

  • Reference: 2018/1068
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
Recently the decision was made to close the front desk at Belgravia Police Station. However, I, as the local representative along with the local Safer Neighbourhoods Panel was not consulted. Please can you review your processes on such matters to ensure adequate consultation takes place?
