TfL has recently submitted a planning application to Barnet Council for the installation of electric charging points at two sites in the Market Place. Despite there being no decision due for some weeks, on the afternoon of 19th September TfL issued advance parking suspension notices throughout the Market Place in connection with the installation of charging equipment. The suspensions planned for the whole of the north side of the Market Place to be without parking between 21st and 29th September and the entire south side between 25th September and 2nd October. Between 25th and 29th September there will be no...

Go-Ahead London have entered into an arrangement with Metro newspapers to install boxes on some buses on a trial basis, resulting in the luggage compartment being made a lot smaller than usual due to this metal container. Did TfL approve this arrangement; is there any payment to TfL and/or Go Ahead from the Metro; are you aware of some passenger's concerns over the restricted luggage space, leading to bags ending up in the passenger areas which can be hazardous; and what action do you prose to take about it?

Residents in central London and in particular the West End experience on a daily basis noise nuisance, anti-social behaviour and in some instances illicit activity like drug dealing. However, there is currently no licensing scheme in place for pedicabs and pedicab drivers. What steps can you take to help bring about a licensing scheme; and will you do so?

Will you look at proposals from the West London Alliance to reopen the Dudding Hill freight line as an Overground line from Old Oak Common to the new Brent Cross Cricklewood station, which would open HS2 to more residents of North London?

A blanket application has been put forward by HS2 to use the whole Transport for London Route Network (the red routes) for HGVs - without numbers, or duration of specific routes required. Do you think this is reasonable or proportionate; and if not what will you do about it?

Are you aware of the suggestion made by HS2, that people should keep their windows closed for the next 17 years against the toxic illegal air pollution that they themselves are creating, whilst they carry out their construction work, with HS2 offering to install ventilation, and pollution filters in homes, as a substitute for fresh air. What is your opinion of this proposal and what can you do about it?

Do you agree that, in order to minimise adverse effects on the future operations of London Zoo, and to reduce the risks to schoolchildren and other pedestrians in and around the route from the London Zoo car park via Albany Street and the Regent's Park Estate to the HS2 Euston site, every effort must be made to identify an alternative future location for the HS2 lorry holding area currently proposed at the London Zoo car park? Are you aware that the site of the Maria Fidelis school could potentially provide a much better location for the HS2 lorry holding area...

Can the CS11 project be redesigned so as not to worsen traffic on and around the Regent's Park Estate through mitigation measures such as: Signal Controlled Crossing with raised carriageway, by Chester Gate Speed Camera. 20mph limit. Coordination with other current development proposals, like HS2. Alternative options for displaced traffic to prevent rat running through Regents Park Estate.

• Meeting date: 12 October 2017

CS11 will displace 10,000 vehicles per day now using the east side of the Outer Circle and Park Square East. The consultation leaflet states that much of this traffic will divert east of the park, which means the A4201 Albany Street. If just half of this traffic is diverted onto Albany Street it would mean a 40% increase in traffic on this road. This year HS2 begins two years of roadworks on Albany Street; and next year they will also designate Albany Street and the Regent's Park Estate roads as diversion routes for long term road closures put in place...

• Meeting date: 12 October 2017

Can you confirm that TfL's modelling for CS11 takes into account the massively increased impact of HS2 traffic on Albany Street and if so what proposals are there to ensure that this will not result in traffic displacing into residential areas already heavily impacted by HS2 works, such as Regent's Park Estate?
