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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

According to local and national media there are hundreds of blocks of flats with cladding systems. Whilst steps are being taken by local authorities and some direction(s) emerging from Government, will you be addressing this issue on a Londonwide basis to ensure that there is a central register with accurate audit of numbers and data re the status of cladding systems including flammability etc. professionally assessed and recorded?
