Trees which had been intended for the Garden Bridge are currently being grown in nurseries across the UK. As these have been purchased and lovingly grown with public money, will you now take ownership of these and donate them to community gardeners, pocket parks and schools across the capital to genuinely offer the green benefit which the Bridge would not have offered?

Dockless cycles have suddenly turned up without discussion in many parts of London, including my constituency. Could the Mayor give an update on discussions that TfL are holding with Obike and Mobike on how to promote cycling responsibly, without blocking the highways or pavements?

Residents across my constituency have raised with me the issue of too many taxis sitting on ranks - for example, 10-12 taxis when the rank has spaces marked for 6 taxis. This is especially prevalent at Putney Station and at Wimbledon Station. While the Zero-Emission Taxis will assist with reducing diesel, they are not available until the end of this year, and my constituents would like TfL to enforce where too many taxis are situated on Red Routes. Does the Mayor agree that TfL should take a more active role and can this be encouraged, to improve London's air quality...

A constituent has raised with me the issue of re-locating the Taxi Rank near Balham Station, in Balham Station Road. Currently, the front of the rank is very close to the station frontage and diesel fumes are trapped under the canopy, making a dirty environment as passengers exit from the stations. Would the Mayor ask TfL to consider moving the rank further away from the station canopy, by approximately 10 metres, and moving the 255 bus stand behind the rank to accommodate this adjustment?

A number of constituents have expressed concern about air quality in Tooting Town centre, especially where the numerous buses stop along Mitcham Road, and wait at the bus stand/turning circle all close to the Tooting Broadway Underground Station. While local residents value the excellent connectivity, most of the buses are not the cleaner buses, and residents would like to know if there is a timetable for bringing the cleanest buses onto the routes that pass through Tooting Town Centre?
