Anti-Semitic Crime

  • Reference: 2017/0672
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Recent reports of a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in Edgware in Barnet has raised concerns in the community and religious leaders including those in Harrow. What is being done to support the victims and provide safety and support to synagogues particularly in Harrow and Barnet Boroughs with large Jewish community?

FGM Support Clinic

  • Reference: 2017/0671
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Due to budget pressures the Acton African Well Woman Centre is due to shut at the end of March. How can the Mayor intervene to stop such closures of services that are providing valuable service in in FGM related work?

Right To Strike

  • Reference: 2017/0670
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
As a reaction to the current rail strikes there is a debate whether strikes should be curbed? A 'Strike Day' bill is being promoted to allow courts to decide if an all-out strike would cause unacceptable suffering to the public. This will let a judge determine whether to force unions to keep a level of basic service running. Is this a way forward and will this mean attack on right to strike?

Air Quality Audits for Schools

  • Reference: 2017/0669
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Will Mayor's much needed initiative include audit of travel plans operated by school. Where needed will this scheme provide encouragement/requirements for travel plans (where there are none currently) and provide additional support to schools to make their existing travel plans more effective?

Protection of Voluntary Sector Music, Dance and Cultural Activities

  • Reference: 2017/0668
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
I note positive progress made for London's grassroots music venues. However, as a result of government cuts, grassroots music/dance/cultural activities run by London's diverse voluntary sector are either shutting down or are under unprecedented threat of closure. How can the Mayor intervene and support Local Authorities and London's diverse communities to keep their activities going?

Encouraging More Cycling

  • Reference: 2017/0667
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
A survey has found that one in five people in the UK have not cycled in more than decade - this is in spite of 'clear appetite for cycling' as suggested by British Heart Foundation. The Mayor's keen interest and recent funding announcement for cycling is very welcome - how is the Mayor encouraging more and more Londoners to get on their bike?

Financial Inclusion

Can you give me an update on what the Economic Fairness Team has been doing around financial inclusion and can you explain how will the tram be looking to tackle the problem of debt in London?

Low Emission in Opportunity Areas

  • Reference: 2017/0665
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
Do you have clear strategy for Opportunity Areas like Harrow's Town Centre with current excessive congestion, large volumes of buses and planned growth which are already subjected to unacceptable level of toxic air? When do we expect implementation of measures to tackle toxic air in such Outer London areas facing intensive growth?

Low Emission Bus Zones (Brent)

  • Reference: 2017/0664
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2017
I welcome your plans for 10 more Low Emission Bus Zones, including A5 along the border of Brent, deploying the greenest buses on the capital's most polluted routes to cut harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. When will you be looking at further areas to introduce green buses as I have local campaigners in Brent who are disappointed that local roads with clear evidence of toxic air from existing bus fleets have not benefitted from the recent announcement?
