How is the Mayor seeking to persuade London's MPs to vote against allowing Heathrow to build a third runway?

Congestion Charge expansion

  • Reference: 2017/3818
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
In a follow-up to Question No: 2017/3195, can you specifically name what boroughs have shown an interest in having the Congestion Charge extended to their boroughs? What boroughs have you had conversations with regarding this subject?

Solar Energy

  • Reference: 2017/3817
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Has your Energy Team read research by Gordon Hughes, a former Professor of Economics at Edinburgh University that solar power costs now run at £22/MWh on average, implying the wholesale energy market paid £38.50/MWh for a service only worth £16.50 to it. Does the Mayor comprehend such subsidies are often paid for by some of the poorest Londoners and this may well become a bigger problem as renewables grow as a proportion of the energy mix?

Local policing in West Central

Can you please provide a ward by ward breakdown of the actual number of police officers allocated in each ward across the City of Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea on a certain fixed date, such as 30th June 2017? Please ensure this information is the actual number rather than a theoretical figure that takes no account of vacancies and operational deployments elsewhere

London Borough of Culture

  • Reference: 2017/3814
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
The Camden New Journal is reporting Camden is "a shoo- in" and "red hot favourite" to be named London Borough of Culture. Is this yet another case of the Mayor being Mayor for all Londoners so long as they vote Labour?

Mouhssin Ismail and Newham Sixth Form College

  • Reference: 2017/3813
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Has the Mayor met with head teacher Mouhssin Ismail, an ex 'magic circle' law partner turned head teacher of Newham 6th form college, who's impressive exam results should be applauded by us all? What specific lessons or best practice can the GLA help to disseminate to other London schools?

The new Mayoral Adviser on Resilience

  • Reference: 2017/3812
  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Toby Harris' report, published in October 2016, repeated the Rockefeller Institute's 100 Resilience Cities recommendation that a new Mayoral Adviser on Resilience be appointed as a "matter of urgency". Given recent terrorist incidents and the Grenfell fire, why is it that, 11 months later, this post has yet to be filled?
