Worcester Park air quality

  • Reference: 2016/2956
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Worcester Park has long suffered from heavy traffic due to its position on the busy A2043 Croydon - Sutton - Kingston corridor and as a feeder to the A3. What steps is TfL planning to take to ensure that buses that pass through Worcester Park are as soon as possible zero emission buses, or at the very least ensure that zero emission buses are a requirement of any buses operating on retendered bus routes passing through Worcester Park?

CR2 for Streatham

  • Reference: 2016/2955
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
With Heathrow set by 2018 to have another rapid rail link to central London, due to the spur line off the Elizabeth Line, will you consider the need for similar transport improvements to serve Gatwick that could be delivered by Crossrail 2 forking from Clapham Junction? Will you consider the merits such a spur line would generate in terms of encouraging more people to travel to Gatwick by rail rather than road as well as the significant economic opportunities for south London?

Weekly cap on Oyster Pay As You Go

  • Reference: 2016/2954
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
In a letter I received from the previous Mayor dated the 31st July 2013 (ref MGLA260613-9919) it was stated by Boris Johnson that TfL would introduce weekly capping on Oyster Pay As You Go in 2015. Are you concerned that this pledge was not met and will you make a commitment to finally ensure that Oyster cards offer exactly the same benefits to passengers as contactless payments?

Publication of fares advice

  • Reference: 2016/2953
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Following the Information Commission ruling that the public interest in seeing how the annual fares decision is made outweighs the right to confidential advice, will you now publish in full the fares advice you received from TfL before your fare announcement of the 8th June?

Publication of freedom of information responses

  • Reference: 2016/2951
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
In October 2015 TfL’s Transparency Strategy Consultation report stated “We will publish online all our replies to Freedom of Information requests. This is likely to be once our new software for handling FOI requests is operational in 2016.” Please provide an update as to when this pledge is expected to be met.

Transparency of Garden Bridge Trust (2)

  • Reference: 2016/2950
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Further to your repeated statement that you are determined to run the most open and transparent administration London has ever seen, do you consider it appropriate for TfL to be co-operating with the Garden Bridge Trust that at present has raised significant amounts from Trusts, companies and individuals that at present wish to remain anonymous? Considering the public investment that has already been contributed to the project to lever in private fundraising do you agree that Londoners are entitled to have full details of all major contributors to the Garden Bridge Trust?

Garden Bridge (4)

  • Reference: 2016/2947
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
In the Mayoral Decision 1472 signed by the previous Mayor on the 4th June 2015 it was stated that the estimated total cost for construction, inclusive of VAT, was £169 million, however at present the Garden Bridge Trust states on their website the project will cost £185 million in total. What assurances, if any, have you received from the Garden Bridge Trust about the final cost of the project, especially following Lord Davies of of Abersoch's statement on BBC Newsnight on the 17th August that the expected completion date for the Garden Bridge will now be 2019?
