It has been brought to my attention that in some parts of my constituency where bus drivers change (Wimbledon Park Road, Queenstown Road & Ashvale Road) diesel-fuelled engines are left idling causing noise and air pollution. Would it be possible to modify practices or update vehicles to have, for instance, electric powered heaters to reduce the need to leave engines idling?

The 170 bus is supposed to run every ten minutes, however with traffic and delays it is infrequent. The route can only operate a single-decker bus due to a low bridge at Lombard Road and given new housing developments in the area it is busy. Would it be possible for the frequency to increase to a bus every five minutes?

The 170 bus is supposed to run every ten minutes, however with traffic and delays it is infrequent. The route can only operate a single-decker bus due to a low bridge at Lombard Road and given new housing developments in the area it is busy. What modelling was done to account for the increase in housing and passengers, as well as the developments about to come on-stream?

TfL proposes to implement an interim scheme in 2017, incorporating some facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, while construction in Nine Elms area is on-going till 2030. It has been suggested that this timescale provides a unique opportunity to trial various options, and drop those that do not work, in order to be ready for full-blown changes in the final scheme. Does the Mayor agree that, over the 13 years between now and 2030, this area could be an excellent testbed for different ways to move people in a rapidly developing part of Inner London, and will he instruct TfL accordingly?

When the cycle hire scheme was extended into Wandsworth in 2013, few docking points were installed in Wandsworth town centre because TfL and Wandsworth Council recognised that central Wandsworth is currently hostile to cycling. With the prospect of improved conditions for cycling as part of TfL's proposals for transforming Wandsworth town centre, will TfL now review the scope for 'densification' of Santander docking stations in central Wandsworth, in order to promote uptake of cycling for local journeys?

Do you think the proposals for Quietway 4 in Wandsworth would create conflict between pedestrians and cyclists at a busy junction outside Earlsfield station? If so, do you agree with Wandsworth Living Streets and Wandsworth Cycling Campaign that TfL should review the proposals for Quietway 4 in Wandsworth, ensuring that they meet the Quietways stated objectives and that public monies are not wasted on a poor quality scheme?
