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.

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.

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?

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...

The government announced a £300m national relief fund in the Spring Budget to help businesses hardest hit by the business rates revaluation, which came into force on 1 April and has hit many small firms with punishing tax hikes. However, I am aware that only around £197k of this sum has so far been allocated. What representations have you made to London councils to get his process moving?

To ask the Mayor if he has seen the recent report from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), which states that: 'Starting salaries are rising at their fastest pace for 20 months as the departure of European workers after the Brexit vote squeezes the availability of suitable job candidates' and whether he thinks this development is good news for Londoners? http://news.sky.com/story/good-time-to-look-for-new-job-as-starting-sal…
