You may be aware that Camden Council are seeking to move services for mobility impaired residents near to Kentish Town tube station. Consequently, Camden Council have put in a bid for funding to TfL to request that the station is made step-free. Will you look favourably on this bid and ensure Kentish Town has a higher priority for step-free funding access?

Residents have raised concerns with me about the speed at which drivers of the 384 bus travel along Alston Road in High Barnet. This causes vibrations to houses, and discomfort to passengers, given how narrow the road is. Will you ensure drivers pass through this road more carefully and at reduced speeds?

Further to your answer to Question No: 2017/4574, I believe you have missed the point. The issue I raised was in respect of the new development next to the Peel Centre, on land that was previously owned by the Met as part of the centre, and sold off for private development. There are tall buildings overlooking the site being constructed. What action has been taken to ensure the integrity of security at the Peel Centre, in light of this private development neighbouring it; and indeed the other tall building developments in the immediate vicinity which overlook the Peel Centre complex?

Have you seen the report in the 23rd November 'Ham and High' newspaper, of the theft of a mobile phone by a moped thief? The owner called 101, waited a long time to get through, and then gave the police the address of to where the phone had been taken, identified by a tracker device. The report states that the police did not act promptly and the phone could not then be recovered as the tracker went silent after 24 hours. This report is very similar to the previous one I raised with you by MQ, of my constituent who...

Social media has been blamed for the public panic during the Oxford Street incident on 24/11/2017, when shoppers panicked as armed police cleared the streets with the Police warning people on Oxford and Regent streets to stay indoors while officers assessed the scene. However, the Met said it had found no evidence of shots being fired. What social media messages were put out by the police to reassure the public and to try to counteract the impact of other social media?

Statistics from the London Fire Brigade show tumble dryers and other appliances by Whirlpool were involved in 895 of 2,891 fires in the London. What action are you taking to publicise this risk and to persuade the Government to act on it?

Despite your previous responses, TfL, who have now identified the source of the noise as the Jubilee Line, refuse to do anything about it, on the grounds that other places are even worse and are therefore prioritised. How is this meeting the promise that noise from the Tube especially the night tube, will be dealt with promptly; and in the circumstances, as it appears from many unresolved complaints in my constituency, will this commitment now be abandoned as undeliverable?

Despite reassurances from you by way of answers to MQs and from TfL in response to correspondence, the problems of the 13 bus continue as they have for many months now. I am still receiving complaints of fast and jerky bad driving by the drivers, unreliable and intermittent services, not stopping despite having a hand out to stop the bus, missing bus stops despite ringing the bell, and the poor design of the busses with inadequate seating. When will these problems be resolved, if ever?

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have said that helicopter engine emissions are contributing to poor local air quality and may be considered problematic in certain cities. The evidence shows that the air quality impact of helicopter engine emissions is localised, meaning that helicopter movements in central London are likely to have a significant impact on nearby air quality. It seems unfair that private helicopters flying into central London should not be subject to the same engine emissions regulations, and Congestion Zone Clean Air charge, as cars and commercial vehicles as helicopters emit more pollutants than any typical car. Will...
