illegal flyposting in bus shelters

  • Reference: 2017/4028
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
A group called London Palestine Action was putting posters inside the official poster board covers in bus shelters calling for the cancellation of the Tel Aviv in London festival and making no secret of the fact. While it is of course their right to oppose almost anything they want this should be done lawfully. Whilst TfL removed the posters when it was brought to their attention, what action is being taken against those involved in this illegal flyposting activity to deter future flyposting of this nature?

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore

Residents have complained to me about speeding on TfL's A1000 High Road in Finchley, between the North Circular and Summers Lane. Short of police being present, what other solutions will you implement?

Tube noise, Belsize Road NW6 next to Swiss Cottage tube

  • Reference: 2017/4026
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
From about 7th August tube noise, which previously was of no concern, has become a serious problem for residents in Belsize Road NW6, next to Swiss Cottage tube station, with every 30 seconds loud rumbling and vibrations and Fridays and Saturdays bringing 24 hour disturbance with the night tube. There have been constant track works/repairs this year, and it seems something has drastically been changed, affecting the soundproofing. Residents have complained to TFL but have had no response back. What is the cause of this sudden change in noise; and what will you urgently do to stop it?

A406 Staples Corner flyover maintenance

  • Reference: 2017/4025
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Whilst it is good to see that the A406 Staples Corner flyover maintenance temporary full closures were completed early, why could this work not have been done in the school holidays when traffic is quieter so as to minimise disruption at this busy junction?

Residents have raised with me concerns for road safety especially for pedestrians, about what is a race track on A1 between Henlys Corner and a 40mph sign just south of Market Place. What will you do to make this stretch of the A1 safer?

Electric car charging point works on A1 Market Place

  • Reference: 2017/4023
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
TfL has recently submitted a planning application to Barnet Council for the installation of electric charging points at two sites in the Market Place. Despite there being no decision due for some weeks, on the afternoon of 19th September TfL issued advance parking suspension notices throughout the Market Place in connection with the installation of charging equipment. The suspensions planned for the whole of the north side of the Market Place to be without parking between 21st and 29th September and the entire south side between 25th September and 2nd October. Between 25th and 29th September there will be no...

Metro newspapers on buses

  • Reference: 2017/4022
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Go-Ahead London have entered into an arrangement with Metro newspapers to install boxes on some buses on a trial basis, resulting in the luggage compartment being made a lot smaller than usual due to this metal container. Did TfL approve this arrangement; is there any payment to TfL and/or Go Ahead from the Metro; are you aware of some passenger's concerns over the restricted luggage space, leading to bags ending up in the passenger areas which can be hazardous; and what action do you prose to take about it?

Pedicabs

  • Reference: 2017/4021
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
Residents in central London and in particular the West End experience on a daily basis noise nuisance, anti-social behaviour and in some instances illicit activity like drug dealing. However, there is currently no licensing scheme in place for pedicabs and pedicab drivers. What steps can you take to help bring about a licensing scheme; and will you do so?
