  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
The December 2016 Transport for London (TfL) Business Plan identifies 10,000 homes to be built as part of TfL land projects. How many of these homes will be on the Earls Court Exhibition Centre site and how many on the Lillie Bridge Rail Depot site?

Hit and run prosecution data

  • Reference: 2017/2117
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
Thank you for your response to my question 2016/4612. It is disappointing to learn that the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is currently unable to provide data about the results of hit and run prosecutions. When will the "extensive new digital systems being introduced in the MPS" be ready to use to address this problem?

Discriminatory time limits to exchange on new-build homes

  • Reference: 2017/2116
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
A constituent has informed me that in order to secure a new-build home at Chobham Manor in the Olympic Park, they were told they needed to commit to exchange contracts within 28 days. These conditions seem to disadvantage and exclude many Londoners, for example those who may need to sell an existing home or arrange a mortgage in order to buy. How will you prevent these short and discriminatory deadlines from affecting the ability of Londoners to access new homes in future developments?

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
Thank you for your response to my question 2016/2429, and for the new policy of name-blind recruitment in City Hall. I have written to all London councils encouraging them to follow suit and adopt this practice. What discussions have you or your team had with councils in London, and how have you encouraged other public bodies to adopt name-blind recruitment?

Multiple hate crime categories

  • Reference: 2017/2113
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
Thank you for your answer to my question 2016/3075. How many different hate crime categories are there, and is there any limit to how many a police officer can attribute to one incident using the police reporting system? Are you planning to review the categories?

Supporting diverse MPS associations

  • Reference: 2017/2112
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
According to the Guardian on 23 February 2017, Metropolitan Black Police Association funding is being cut and staff lost. Considering your aim to support a positive culture within the MPS and encourage more diversity in the police, reiterated in your draft Police and Crime Plan, what will you do to ensure that this group can continue its work?

Please provide any estimate you have made of the potential cost to London of policing a state visit from the President of the United States? Approximately how many officers would you need to extract from local policing to support this event?

  • Meeting date: 22 March 2017
In 2015, Havering Council and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) won the international Herman Goldstein Award for excellence in problem-orientated policing for their work reducing anti-social behaviour in the night time economy. How will MOPAC and the MPS take the lessons learned from Havering's approach and expand this to suitable areas across London?
