  • Reference: 2017/4327
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Thank you for your response to my question 2017/2189 in which you said "Use of TfL purchasing power - for example through power purchase agreements of renewable energy - is one potential route to the decarbonisation of the power supply which will be explored".

Energy for Londoners – Angelic Energy

  • Reference: 2017/4326
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
What is the purpose of setting up your proposed 'white label' Energy for Londoners energy company now that Islington Council has already launched Angelic Energy, a 'white label' energy supply company for London? Does this development reinforce the case that London boroughs should be able to procure their energy from a Mayoral fully licenced supply company?

A constituent was cycling eastwards on cycle superhighway 2 (Whitechapel Road). As they were cycling past the bus stop opposite Adler Street, a pedestrian stepped out, having been hidden behind the advertising panel on the bus stop, resulting in a near miss.
