Taxi and Private Hire Trade (2)

  • Reference: 2017/4112
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
A good example of a change to operating conditions would be allowing PHVs to virtually ply for hire via an App (UBER). Why did TfL not carry out an Economic Impact Assessment before allowing Uber to operate using a modus operandi where the Driver accepts the hiring and the Operator only records the transaction?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (1)

  • Reference: 2017/4111
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
How do you think the London 'Black Cab' Taxi service can survive if the Mayor does not consider the impact of changes to the operating conditions of the PHV Industry will have on the taxi market?

Bus Drivers' Protest at City Hall

  • Reference: 2017/4110
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
I note that bus drivers held a demonstration outside City Hall on the morning of 14 September 2017. I would like to ask the Mayor why these workers were protesting over their working conditions and ask what TfL are doing to address their grievances.

Policing The Emirates Stadium

  • Reference: 2017/4109
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
What was the outcome of the police investigation into the chaotic scenes at The Emirates Stadium on 14 September 2017, in the Europa League clash between Arsenal and Cologne? German fans entered the arena via Arsenal turnstiles and climbed into the away fans section, with stewards powerless to stop them.

Waterloo Traffic

  • Reference: 2017/4108
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
What was the outcome of the TfL public consultation on reorganising traffic and pedestrian arrangements in the Waterloo area.

Heatherwick Studio

  • Reference: 2017/4107
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Are there any projects currently underway in the 'GLA family' that involve the Heatherwick Studio, or its founder Thomas Heatherwick - of Garden Bridge and 'Boris Bus' renown.

Conflict of Interest

  • Reference: 2017/4106
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
You tasked Philip Colvin QC with reviewing London's night-time economy in December 2017. However, it has since emerged that Mr Colvin is the barrister for three Uber drivers being prosecuted by Reading Council for operating in their area, despite the council having refused Uber an operating licence in March 2016. Given the hugely controversial role played by Uber in London's private hire market, does this not represent a conflict of interest?

Coin Street Community Builders

  • Reference: 2017/4105
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Why does Coin Street Community Builders' (CSSB) current development plans not include any social housing. Given the GLC's exceptional generosity to CSSB in 1984 in selling the 13 acres concerned for a fraction of its market value, will the Mayor exercise his statutory powers and call in the CSSB's current development plans.

Taxi and Private Hire Accident Statistics

  • Reference: 2017/4104
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
The Mayor/TFL's 2016 Action Plan stated that separating Taxi and Private Hire accident statistics would commence in August 2016 and be initially published in Spring. TfL failed to do this, citing delays from the Met Police and that publication was postponed to the Summer. Is this data now available? You will note that MQ 2017/2639 asked the same question.

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
