Congestion Charge

  • Reference: 2017/3549
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
In recent months, I have noted an increasing number of vehicles on the street of London's West End with number plates comprised of Arabic characters. How does the ANPR equipment used by TfL identify these vehicles for the purpose of collecting the Congestion Charge.

Fatigued Bus Drivers

  • Reference: 2017/3548
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
To ask the Mayor what monitoring systems do TfL have in place to ensure that bus drivers in a fatigued state are not getting behind the wheel of the capital's buses.

Brexit

  • Reference: 2017/3547
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
I understand that are currently trying to persuade your colleagues in the Labour Party to commit to holding a second referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, in an attempt to halt Brexit. Given that the British People rejected David Cameron's apocalyptic prophecy of national economic meltdown in June 2016 and that unemployment has now fallen to lowest level since 1975, with inward investment at a record high, the odds are not in your favour. What will you do if you lose a second referendum, or will you insist on further referenda until you get the result you seek...

National Park City

  • Reference: 2017/3546
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Are you concerned that the National Park City project could be used for further privatisation of public space, corporate sponsorship of community assets or to promote development which 'appear' green but in fact use greenery to cover up less environmentally beneficial construction, as we witnessed with the Garden Bridge fiasco.

The Garden Bridge (4)

  • Reference: 2017/3545
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Will you be asking the Garden Bridge Trustees to contribute personally to reimburse the public loss on the project for which they were responsible?

The Garden Bridge (3)

  • Reference: 2017/3544
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Will you please tell us how much public money was spent by the Garden Bridge Trust from the day you became Mayor, to the day they announced they were winding it up?

The Garden Bridge (2)

  • Reference: 2017/3543
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Now that the Garden Bridge Trust has decided to wind down, will you call for a formal public inquiry to investigate the concerns raised in the Margaret Hodge report regarding the procurement, management of the Trust and actions of your predecessor. I am most concerned that blurred lines of responsibility and the selective amnesia of those involved are letting the guilty parties off the hook.

The Garden Bridge (1)

  • Reference: 2017/3542
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
I and millions of my fellow Londoners were delighted to learn on 14 August 2017 that the Garden Bridge Trust had decided to wind its affairs up - but not before wasting £46.4 million of tax-payers' money (which we're not going to get back). However, I note in passing that the senior TfL staff who awarded the contract to Arup subsequently obtained well-paid jobs with that self-same company. Is there anything about the propriety of this state of affairs that concerns you as Mayor?

Bus Conflagration

  • Reference: 2017/3541
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
To ask the Mayor what was the outcome of the investigation into the No. 113 double-decker bus, which burst into flames in the Finchley Road on the evening of Sunday 13 August 2017?

Olympic Games Legacy

  • Reference: 2017/3540
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
London's 2012 Summer Olympic Games organisers justified its £9 billion pound price tag with promises to deliver not only a sporting extravaganza, but an 'Olympic legacy' of prosperity for the East London boroughs where the Games were held. I am deeply concerned to learn that some five years on, that the six host boroughs have seen a spike in homelessness and numbers in emergency temporary accommodation, and that low-income local residents have been priced out of the so-called affordable housing that was supposed to be the Games' legacy. I also note that the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), the organisation...
