To ask the Mayor if London's new segregated cycle lanes are putting patients' lives at risk, because they prevent traffic moving out of the way of ambulances. The College of Paramedics has stated that the new model of kerbed lanes, leave drivers nowhere to go when they see blue flashing lights behind them.

TfL have accredited Uber with their own topographical centre for drivers to pass the new navigation tests, which makes them the only PH company given this responsibility. In addition, the LCDC have uncovered e-mails that appear to show that London Taxi and Private Hire (LTPH) gave this accreditation in advance, before the old centres closed and the new arrangements were in place.

Do you agree that TfL have had five years to monitor them and their licence should not have been renewed at the point it expired?
