I have received comments on this document from constituents who whilst welcoming it, feel it falls short in its inclusion of older Londoners. What plans do you have to address what appears to be a "downplaying" of the issues which relate to older people in a diverse and inclusive city?

Over a period of many months I have been asking questions about TfL's failure to engage equally with all representatives of Black Cab drivers. This included meeting the Deputy Mayor for Transport and correspondence with one of her senior officers. I have also submitted a number of written Mayor's Questions to which I have still not received an answer to the main thrust relating to who TfL choose to have a dialogue with. They have chosen to consult in a particular way which excludes certain groups of black cab drivers. In my view this is a continuation of the favouritism...

In your response to my written question 2017/3704 you state that the LSTC has the opportunity to meet with TfL on a regular basis through the Suburban Sector Forum and that the next meeting was to be held on October 3rd 2017. The LSTC have informed me that this Sector Forum meets only once a year. Do you consider this to constitute meeting "on a regular basis"?

Thank you for your response to my written question 2017/3704. I note that you state that the Cab Ranks Committee engaged with the taxi drivers before accepting the 02 proposals and that this included a driver survey. Are you aware that this survey did not include drivers who are members of the London Suburban Taxi Coalition? Do you not share my view that their continued exclusion is unfair?

The evaluation report of Fire Brigade Exercise Unified Response has just been published.
