Bike hire schemes

  • Reference: 2017/2987
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Would adopting technology similar to that recently launched in Manchester allow a more rapid roll out of bike hire schemes in London?

Broadband as the Fourth Utility

  • Reference: 2017/2983
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
London's broadband is unfit for a global city. What are the Mayor's views on the UK system of broadband provision and how can the GLA, through funding, the London Plan and its Chief Digital Officer, achieve a step-change in delivering super-fast fibre, and how can the Mayor ensure existing communities benefit from faster speeds as a result of new housebuilding and large-scale regeneration?

Night Tube Noise Complaints.

  • Reference: 2017/2982
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
I understand that the number of complaints about noise form passing tube trains has gone up considerably since 2012. Night tube service seems to have worsened the problem. Can you let me have data re complaints of noise pertaining to Jubilee Line serving Brent and Harrow areas and how you've responded to them?

Harrow On the Hill Station: Step-free Access

  • Reference: 2017/2981
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
What progress has been made to implement step-free access agreed with me last year? I'm worried about the deafening silence from TfL! Having lobbied the previous mayor for 8 years and having funding granted by the current Mayor I don't want to see the scheme falter.

Alperton Station: Regeneration

  • Reference: 2017/2980
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
At a recent joint site visit with Brent Council and the GLA to look at regeneration of high streets I noticed that TfL owned units at the station are still not let? What is the reason for this? These have been vacant for a couple of years. What is the timetable for their occupancy? Can you also let me know why refurbishment plans to revamp the station forecourt have fallen through? Has TfL's partnership work with Brent Council for regeneration failed? Why?

Alperton Station: Overbridge

  • Reference: 2017/2979
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Ealing Road including the site of Alperton Station is part of Brent's plans to regenerate the area. The overbridge acts as a gateway to the Ealing Road. Can TfL take urgent measures to clean up and restore the overbridge which is an eyesore?

Bakerloo Line: Carriages

  • Reference: 2017/2978
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
I get regular complaints from my Brent and Harrow constituents about the poor state of carriages which are old and in dire need of replacement. We have been patient and waited long enough. Can you let me know what your timetable is for a complete refurbishment/upgrade of Bakerloo line trains as part of TfL's refit programme?

Fire Safety of Public Buildings

  • Reference: 2017/2977
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Whilst we are quite rightly concerned about fire safety of high-rise/tower blocks should we also not be addressing fire risks faced by other uses such as multiple occupancies, hostels, care homes and public buildings such as schools, community facilities etc. which may equally have fire risks such as suspect cladding, breach of compartmentation, inadequate means of fire escape etc.? What can the Mayor do to assist?

Automatic Sprinklers

  • Reference: 2017/2976
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Are you supportive of provision of automatic sprinklers in residential blocks (new and retrofitting) and other public buildings such as care homes, schools etc.? Should this be made compulsory? Would you support moves to make them compulsory as Part B requirement(s) of the Building Regulations?

New High Rise Residential Blocks: New Developments

  • Reference: 2017/2975
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Is there any way you can influence development of new high-rise blocks under construction or ones with planning consent such as the ones on Palmerston Road Harrow to ensure that they have the right specification and thorough structure for post-contract inspections to ensure that all fire safety requirements are complied with?
