Belsize Road is a residential street in Camden that leads to an entrance to Swiss Cottage underground station. Residents there have written to me to complain that since the start of the night tube there have been regular problems in the early morning hours with anti-social behaviour and severe littering problems. They also complain that the walled vent above the station is not maintained, gathering waste. Will you take action on these complaints?

On a recent site visit with ward Councillors and officers from both Barnet Council and TfL, a plan of action was agreed to install a fence on Long Lane in East Finchley, adjacent to the North Circular. This is to enclose land owned by TfL which has been a source of dumping, burglaries of neighbouring properties and ASB. TfL has pulled the plug on the fence, citing budgetary reasons. What is the estimated cost of the wooden pale fence of 20 meters in length that would be required? (The materials at B&Q would cost no more than £600) Do you...

Do you agree that an important way of reducing traffic, congestion and air pollution in outer London is to encourage bus use? That being the case, do you agree that having long waits for a bus act as a deterrence to consistent use, and that increasing the frequency of services would encourage more people to use them regularly?

Are you prepared to ask Transport for London not to insist that the credit card readers be situated in the passenger compartment of taxis? A taxi driver who drives for Dial-A-Cab who have had card readers in the drivers compartment since 2011 with no problems at all, has suggested to me that requiring the readers to be in the passenger compartment could endanger drivers if they have to leave the safety of the front cab as a result?

Do you share the concern at the number of children being issued with penalty fares by TfL inspectors because they have forgotten their Oyster ZIP cards on bus journeys to and from school? Of course, inspectors have an important job to do ensuring that fare evasion is tackled as the costs of such evasion are borne by those who do pay, but for a child on their way to or from school within the Oyster ZIP card bus area there cannot be any question of a revenue loss to TfL given that the Oyster ZIP card provides for free bus...
