Edmonton Green station (2)

  • Reference: 2017/4204
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
The transport impacts of AGA's trains not stopping at Edmonton Green would also undermine regeneration in Tottenham and Enfield. Will you ask TfL to provide information, such as rail modelling, of what the effects could be, including on the PTAL?

Edmonton Green station (1)

  • Reference: 2017/4203
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Abellio Greater Anglia's timetable for next year shows an intention to stop running trains to Edmonton Green station, despite it being required by its franchise. This would put great pressure on London Overground services operating at that station and services in the Enfield and Tottenham areas generally, which have seen a huge growth in passengers in recent years. Will you write to the Secretary of State requesting he directs AGA to stick to the franchise requirements?

Russia Today advertising on TfL sites (1)

  • Reference: 2017/4201
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
RT (formerly Russia Today) has a series of controversial adverts on TfL sites across London. TfL's policy allows it to refuse permission to adverts containing 'images or messages which relate to matters of public controversy or sensitivity'. Do you agree that these adverts should not have been permitted, particularly given that RT is funded by the Russian government?

Greater powers for the TfL Commissioner

  • Reference: 2017/4200
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Dame Margaret Hodge's review of the Garden Bridge project raised concerns that the TfL Commissioner had too much delegated authority and that this had undermined accountability. However, the review of the Commissioner's powers by the TfL Board has concluded that he should be given more power. Do you agree with this position?

Edgware Road aggregate transfer site

  • Reference: 2017/4196
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Under the Brent Cross Cricklewood Development, there is a proposal for a large-scale rail freight facility handling aggregate. This would affect nearby residential streets with dust and noise from the facility and mean more HGVs on Edgware Road. As the development would affect more than one London borough, will you issue a direction that you will become the local authority for the application?

What is your opinion and were you consulted about this?
